<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Dolph,<br>
<br>
I guess it sounds complicated but in the end our setup is really
not much different from the community workflow, a least this is
the intention. What I am trying to achieve is a possibility for
the team of developers to share code among each other by using a
central Git repository. This is according to the centralized
workflow using distributed Git as described in the official Git
documentation (see ref. [1]).<br>
<br>
If I understand correctly, we cannot use the OpenStack community
Git servers as our central Git repository since developers cannot
push to them. And we don't want to go through Gerrit and the code
review procedure just to share a bit of code with somebody else in
the team. Thus the need for a local mirror.<br>
<br>
Additionally also a local Gerrit server was set up to allow for
internal code review within the team before submitting anything to
the community server <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://review.openstack.org">review.openstack.org</a>
(which will be done eventually). This is also helpful in case our
Internet connection goes down, as we will still be able to follow
the complete workflow inside the LAN.<br>
<br>
Hope this explains a little better the motivation for the
described setup.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">I've been following the conversation,
probably like many others, wondering why in the world you need
such a complicated, high-maintenance workflow? What's the use
case? Why can't your developers use <a moz-do-not-send="true"

In your first email, you used the phrase "t<span
style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">rying
to set up an OpenStack development workflow in our company"
but what you're building is not an OpenStack development
workflow at all - it's an expensive private island. The
community's workflow is quite well documented here: </span><font
