[openstack-dev] new tool for quickly fixing nits on gerrit reviews

For a while now I've been encouraging folks to propose follow-up patches
to fix nits on proposed changes, rather than waiting ages for someone to
respond to a -1 for a little typo. Today I've release git-nit, a tool to
make doing that easier.

The idea is that you would run a command like:

  $ git nit https://review.openstack.org/#/c/564559/

to download that review into a new local sandbox, ready for your
follow-up patch.

There are more examples in the README.rst on github [1] (until the repo
is imported into our gerrit server [2]).

I released version 1.0.0 a few minutes ago, so you should be able
to pip install it. Please try it out and let me know what your
experience is like.
