Cannot set-head via SSH

[Sebastian Schuberth]

Hi,

I'm trying to change the remote HEAD of a repo via

    ssh -p 29418 $GERRI...@gerrit-server.com gerrit set-head project --new-head develop

and I'm getting

    gerrit: set-head: not found

So, it seems as if the "set-head" command is unknown to Gerrit. Any idea what might cause that?

Thanks,
Sebastian

The set-head command appears to have been introduced in Gerrit 2.12.
Are you by any chance running something older?

(This new command seems to have omitted from the 2.12 release notes.)

Doh, I'm indeed on 2.11.7, but for a (REST) API command as old as this
I didn't even bother to think the SSH command could have been
implemented only recently. Thanks!
