This issue has been troubling me for a while. I have set up gerrit replication recently.
After sync started, everything else works fine, branches are synced, tags are synced. However even I explicitly set to replicate refs/changes, and I see it is in logs too, I'm unable to find it in the replication server.
Gerrit version: 2.12
Replication version 2.12
replication.config:
[remote "hostname"]
url = gerrit2@remotehostname.com:/gerrit/review_site/git/myproject.git
projects = myproject
push = +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
push = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
push = +refs/changes/*:refs/changes/*
replication.log has this:
[2018-05-03 12:02:33,783] [b4044bc4] Replication to gerrit2@remote-hostname.com:/gerrit/review_site/git/myproject.git started...

Everything seems succeeded
I started the replication with command:ssh -p 29418 localhost replication start
I tried to push a CL to the replication server and I'm able to do so and see the CL from UI. So I assume there is no permission issue on this
Besides I did not find anything synced under /gerrit/review_site/git/myproject.git/refs/changes
If we cannot have refs/changes synced, it would not be possible to fail over on slave if master is down.
Anyone has seen this issue and can help me understand why?
Thanks a lot!
