Hi Ricardo,

thanks a lot for your help and detailed instructions. It will surely 
come in handy when I will need to do something like that. I am looking 
also into this possibility.

But the actual reason I need to sync our central developer repo with the 
Gerrit repo is a problem when the developer tries to submit code for 
review to Gerrit. Since the central developer repo is periodically 
updated from upstream and the developers pull these changes into their 
own local repos before branching off the feature branch, then this 
feature branch contains commits from upstream that Gerrit doesn't know 
about. So submitting this feature branch to code review will include 
lots of commits which are not the developers.

I have now solved this issue by granting each developer the right to 
push the master branch to refs/heads/master in the Gerrit repo. This 
makes sure that the Gerrit repos master branch is updated with the 
latest commits and when the developer submits his feature branch for 
review, only his own commits will be reviewed.

Regards, Ondrej
