Custom change-id in gerrit

gerrit, git

Solution

No, you can't. You need to use Gerrit's own Change-Id format. You can have one autogenerated for your commit by installing the commit-msg hook script included with Gerrit. More information is available at the Gerrit Change-Ids documentation.

Problem

Is it possible to have a 'custom' change-id in a gerrit commit message? For example, ``` - My commit message Change-Id: BM10945 ``` Where `BM10945` is the bluemine ticket the change is for. I keep getting a `(missing or invalid Change-Id line format in commit message footer)` from gerrit, and can't commit.
