rename-branch plugin

[Orgad Shaneh]

Hi,

I created a new plugin for renaming a branch:
https://github.com/orgads/gerrit-plugin-rename-branch

Besides just creating a branch with the new name and deleting the old one, it also moves all the open (and optionally closed) changes to the new branch name.

Most of it was implemented with help from Github Copilot. It works well for me and has tests with good coverage, though it could probably use some more polishing.

I would like to host the plugin in gerrit-review. Could you please create a repo for it so I can push the code for review?

Thanks!

Sure, but please make sure that the code is compliant first.

Luca.

Good point! I wasn't aware of that.

If I understand correctly, in order to comply, I need to review the code carefully so that I can claim authorship, and also ensure that it does not include copyrighted code. Did I get that right?
