  Description     : Console-based interface to Gerrit

Gertty is a console-based interface to the Gerrit Code Review system.

As compared to the web interface, the main advantages are:

  * Workflow -- the interface is designed to support a workflow similar
    to reading network news or mail.  In particular, it is designed to
    deal with a large number of review requests across a large number
    of projects.

  * Offline Use -- Gertty syncs information about changes in subscribed
    projects to a local database and local git repos.  All review
    operations are performed against that database and then synced back
    to Gerrit.

  * Speed -- user actions modify locally cached content and need not
    wait for server interaction.

  * Convenience -- because Gertty downloads all changes to local git
    repos, a single command instructs it to checkout a change into that
    repo for detailed examination or testing of larger changes.

I'm planed to package gretty on collab-maint.
