+### For committers
+
+By having multiple sub-projects in the same repo, it is highly recommended
+to use the following approach while using branches and pushing patch sets.
+
+$ subp = cicm-plugin
+$ committer = user
+
+$ git clone -b cicn-plugin/master ssh://[email protected]:29418/cicn subp;
+$ scp -p -P 29418 [email protected]:hooks/commit-msg subp/.git/hooks/;
+
+If you use an email alias like [email protected] that is registered in the
+gerrit frontend it is recommended to set the following kind of configuration
+
+$ git config --local user.email "[email protected]"
+$ git config --local alias.push-for-review "push origin HEAD:refs/for/$subp/master"
+
+this allows to avoid pushing for review to different sub-project branches
+using the command
+
+$ git push-for-review
