Custom alias or regex transform for ${name} in replication config

[Eric]

Has anyone attempted to replicate Gerrit repositories to BitBucket while their Gerrit project names have a "/" in the name?  Bitbucket will not allow slashes in the project name and replaces them with dashes "-".  I'm currently at loss as to how to use BitBucket with automatic Gerrit replication.  We have other servers configured to use the projects with slashes in the name and it would take days to migrate everything to new names.

Is there something that I missed in the Gerrit replication documentation in terms of variables or special functions to modify the value of ${name} in order to accommodate a service like BitBucket that does not support characters like "/" in the project name? 

(Gerrit Code Review v2.6.1 running on FreeBSD)

Thank you in advance for your help.

The "remoteNameStyle" option can be used for this:

"dash" - replace slashes with hypnen
"underscore" - replace slashes with underscore
"baseNameOnly" - drop everything before the last slash

The "dash" and "underscore" options should be available in 2.6. The
"baseNameOnly" was added later and IIRC not in 2.6
