Please make sure to set the correct topic in the Gerrit webui when you
use the broken cherry-pick button for doing backports. I would prefer
that we disable that button completely, but I am not sure Gerrit offers
a configuration option for that.

As a reminder, when using the horrible cherry-pick button, you need to
correct the following:

1. update the topic, set it to: bug-0123456
2. update the commit message, keep a reference to the original change

Personally I prefer the steps in our documentation, that makes it also
easier to run local tests on the backport:

  http://gluster.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Developer-guide/Backport%20Guidelines/
  https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/doc/developer-guide/Backport-Guidelines.md


If others prefer the usage of the cherry-pick button in Gerrit, I would
like to see the exact steps added to the docs.

Thanks,
Niels
