Hi Harisha, If we have changes across multiple repositories that need to be tested together, our developers push them to the Gerrit review queue and specify a Gerrit topic (push to refs/for/master%topic=ABC). All related changes have the same topic.
The test jobs in Jenkins that are normally auto-triggered on a Gerrit push have a filter so that they do not run if a topic is specified. Instead, when changes have been pushed to all repositories for review, the developer then goes to Jenkins and manually triggers a special test job, specifying the topic to test. That job runs some python code that queries Gerrit to find out what changes in what repositories belong to the topic, and fetches them all, so they can be tested together. At the end of the job, there is some more python code to post back Verified +1or -1 to Gerrit, for all the changes. Our scripts are fairly bespoke to our environment, but you could borrow the general idea. Note: In all our jobs, the checkout from Git repositories is done in a build job step, not using the Jenkins Git SCM. Hope that helps.

The issues faced by me is: Many times for a bug / feature fixing happens over multiple git repositories. But Jenkins picks up each git fix as a separate and try to build and run the test cases, which again ends up in failure. I have seen in old mails in mailing list that this is not possible. (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/repo-discuss/XR_JXlMnqbE) Just wanted to check if some body has suggestions for this issue.
