repo don't support refs/changes/... in XML

[Fassino]

Hi,

It seem that this repo not support refs/changes/... in XML, while it's supported by Android. Such construction is required when doing Jenkins continuous integration on patch submitted to gerrit.

Applying such patch fix (inspired from Android):

$ git diff
diff --git a/git_config.py b/git_config.py
index 8a9b46c..e45a265 100644

         for _i in range(2):

Is it possible to integrate it in master branch ?

Thanks & Best regards, JP

Agree that is a missing feature. Will need it on Jenkins...

hey there, thanks for the issue (and push-comment ;)), we are currently rebuilding the whole project with the stuff we learned in this version and put it on the base of the current android git-repo. We will push it for testing in a few days, so then the proposed feature will be available. I will add a comment here, when it is finally pushed. Best Regards

pushed on branch stable, could you verify that the feature is now available elsewise reopen the issue? Thank you
