*****************************************************************

Affected Version: 2.10

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a rules.pl file in All-Projects.git
2. See that it does not get run in projects that inherit All-Projects.git

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It's not clear from the documentation 
(https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation/prolog-cookbook.html) 
that rules.pl does not get inherited as project.config does.

I think that projects should inherit rules.pl from their parents in the same 
way that they inherit project.config (this would be easier to manage, and seems 
more intuitive to me).

If that's not possible, it should be clear in the documentation that they don't 
inherit.

Please provide any additional information below.

Submit rules apply only to the current project, if you want inheritance you 
must implement a submit filter as described in [1].

I see, thank you!

I still think that this could be more clear in the documentation though, should 
I try to open a new issue/request on that or could this issue be used to track 
that?
