Yes, I would assume that for nontrival patches using it from the command line
is the easiest workflow. You essentially do everything in git. Note also that
the exception for submitting the patch (that is pushing to fdo for now) will be
gone once gerrit "owns" the repo. Then all you do is a "gerrit review" like
everyone else. So the workflow is currently more complex than it needs to be.

The real advantage though is not sprinkling in the patches in a mailing list
and have a good status on if it is merged.

Best,
