Sumana (who is on the mailing list I presume) reached out to
participants prior to the tutorial to make sure they'd all applied for
a Gerrit account, and encouraged them to clone the repository (it's a
100 MB clone, you don't want everyone to do that at the same time on
the conference wifi), and at least try to install git-review.

For the actual tutorial, they used one of the test/example
repositories (she or Patrick will be able to tell you which one, or
you can look at the logs for that day) which is much much smaller than
the MW core repo and therefore doesn't take much time and bandwidth to
clone.

I would be happy to, but could you clarify what you mean by "walk
people through the CR process"?

Sounds like a good idea. Re Berlin, I don't know; Chad wasn't in
Berlin, and I wasn't able to attend any of the git tutorials because I
was giving other tutorials the whole time.
