commit 06b15ea19f7bf94704516397df30ec6a36461b3d
Author: Jerome Forissier <jerome.foriss...@linaro.org>

HACKING: add note about refs/publish/master
The fact that one needs to always push contributions to a single remote
reference (refs/publish/master) might seem odd to people unfamiliar with
Gerrit. GitHub, for instance, hosts personal repositories where developers
typically create topic branches for each contribution and use a proprietary
mecanism to request a review (the "pull request"). More generally, one
normally does not expect to be able to push non-fast-forwarding stuff to a
remote branch.
This commit adds a clarifying note to the patch guidelines.
