I think it's a bit unjust to unconditionally mention Gerrit in this 
context as you seem to imply that Gerrit does not store *any* review 
data in Git.

Even without Dave's upcoming notedb, Gerrit already stores refs/changes 
in Git, and with the reviewnotes plugin [1] also the outcome of a review 
in refs/notes/review.
