Gerrit error when Change-Id in commit messages are missing

by

Check if your commits have Change-Id: ... in their descriptions. Every commit should have them.

If no, use git rebase -i to reword the commit messages and add proper Change-Ids (usually this is a SHA1 of the first version of the reviewed commit).

For the future, you should install commit hook, which automatically adds the required Change-Id.

Execute scp -p -P 29418 username@your_gerrit_address:hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/ in the repository directory
or download them from
http://your_gerrit_address/tools/hooks/commit-msg and copy to .git/hooks

Now git commit --amend --no-edit inserts the line.
