Credentials issue trying to upload CL

Project Member Reported by perezju@chromium.org, May 24 2017 
What steps will reproduce the problem?


$ cd $SCR/third_party/catapult/
$ git config gerrit.host true
$ git cl upload

What is the expected result?

cl uploaded!

What happens instead?

Credentials for the following hosts are required:
  
These are read from /usr/local/google/home/perezju/.gitcookies (or legacy /usr/local/google/home/perezju/.netrc)
You can (re)generate your credentials by visiting https://-review/new-password

Also the error message is not very helpful.

I'm so glad that people are filing bugs about gerrit being unavailable for certain repos!

But remember that catapult is hosted on GitHub. GitHub and Gerrit are both code review systems *and* hosting providers, and they can't push reviewed changes into the other hosting system.

We'd like to be able to support gerrit review for catapult eventually (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=726410) but for now, GitHub repos are on their own.

Thanks, that's what I figured out after poking a bit around. Still:

1. "git cl upload" should probably _not_ suggest me to try gerrit on repositories that don't support it. (That's why I ended up trying this, and why I thought it might work.)

2. Even if for whatever reason I ended up trying this on an unsupported repo, the error message could have been a lot more clear!
