Currently, gerrit for ParaView is just a place to solicit feedback on
changes from other developers. The development work-flow is still
exactly the same as described on the wiki (i.e. the normal "git
stage-push" and "git stage-merge" commands).

Your branches will only show up in gerrit if you explicitly pushed
them there with "git gerrit-push". As far as submitting your changes
to gerrit you can use the same instructions that are shown on the VTK
development page (http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git/Develop).

Cheers,
