Open Stack

I think what you are trying to achieve is to have a branch that tracks
upstream for the upstream projects, and another branch that tracks local
development in your Gerrit project.
You may want to check Jeepyb:

http://ci.openstack.org/jeepyb.html

That tool is what Openstack CI uses to manage gerrit repo creation.
Let's take as an example that you wanted to have python-neutronclient
project in your Gerrit, that tracks upstream.

You would do something like this:

1. Install jeepyb and configure the projects.ini file according to your
environment.
1. Add python-neutronclient.config file to the folder your manage-projects
expect it to find (acl-dir parameter from previous step), with contents
similar to :

[access "refs/heads/*"]


abandon = group neutron-core


label-Code-Review = -2..+2 group neutron-core


label-Workflow = -1..+1 group neutron-core





[access "refs/heads/proposed/*"]


abandon = group neutron-milestone


label-Code-Review = -2..+2 group neutron-milestone


label-Workflow = -1..+1 group neutron-milestone





[access "refs/tags/*"]


pushSignedTag = group neutron-release





[receive]


requireChangeId = true


requireContributorAgreement = true





[submit]


mergeContent = true

2. Create an entry in gerrit/projects.yaml file from project-config repo
like:

- project: openstack/python-neutronclient


  upstream: https://git.openstack.org/openstack/python-neutronclient


  options:


    - track-upstream

3. Run 'manage-projects python-neutronclient'

After this, the tool would create the project 'python-neutronclient' with
the acl defined from step 1 and set it to track upstream (as per the option
depicted on step 2).
After this, you could just create branches off master from the Gerrit UI
(or define them upfront in the acl in step 1, but this way would get you
started faster).

If you use the upstream openstack_project::review.pp manifest the
configuration to get this going is greatly reduced (it's a mega manifest
that installs gerrit, jeepyb and other things), I can help you with that.
