Hi Ed,

If you want you can do a "Rebase" in the Gerrit UI before doing the Submit.

Alternatively, and what I personally prefer is to set gerrit's merge
strategy to either Fast forward only, or rebase. The Eclipse platform uses
fast forward only. This prevents any merge commits and ensures that the
gerrit tests the same version as is pushed. The merge strategy is a admin
preference on the repo, so something that webmaster/Fred would have to
change IIRC.

HTH,
Jonah
