Hello,
I think this is a good idea to keep multiple moving parts in sync. OTOH, does this also mean that all changes *must* be part of a topic branch? That would be an overkill IMO.

Ben,
Kindly please hold on, I guess I should forward this comm. to other MLs for which the corresponding tforg projects will inherit the newly enabled feature.
Thanks & Regards, Olivier.

If we are all in agreement I will get it enabled.

Hi Andrew,
We seem to reach a consensus within ARM that it is something we can enable. As a slight usage detail, we'd expect developers to use their initials for gerrit topics such a xy/topic-name. That's already recommended for TF-A, although not always enforced. This would avoid unintended/accidental merges in different repos because of gerrit topic name clashes.
Does it make sense?
Other folks in the ML, please shout if you disagree (you can also express that you agree 🙂).
Regards, Olivier.

Any thoughts on this?

So far, we have relied on this to ensure that submodule changes get submitted along with the corresponding change to the main repository. Our usual workflow has been that whenever a change is made to one of the submodule repositories, both that change and the corresponding change to the main repository are tagged with the same topic. That way it is only possible to submit either once they have all been reviewed +2 and the main change has passed presubmit. This avoids submodules getting out of sync or changes to them being missed or not properly tested.
However, it looks like this is a per-host configuration option rather than per-repository, so it would also affect the other Trusted Firmware projects using the same Gerrit host. Are there any other uses of topics there which would conflict with this config change?
