Edit the commit message on your machine and push again to the code review server the same way you did the first time. The Change-Id that has been added to the commit message will serve as identifier so your new version of the patch will be appended to the review. > > Another probably more serious problem: I've checked out the source for 5.10 > and created a branch "myfix5.10" and used "git checkout myfix5.10".

If you are in a detached state: git checkout -b branch_name, this will create a new branch from where you are and change to it directly keeping your commit(s). What you see on the gerrit page is the command list to cherry-pick the patch for anybody who would like to either test it, improve on it etc. You can click on the other possibilities depending on the git workflow you want to use. > > Third and last, I didn't know how to find reviewers so I picked some almost > randomly from the git log and added the QtGui maintainer, too.

Usually, take a look at the log of the files you modified to see who reviewed the last changes excluding the copyright updates. If nothing moved after some times or if the reviewer(s) associated are no longer active, add the module maintainer. > > Sorry for the lengthy post. > It’s fine.
