That's not entirely true. git-review just contains some code to
guess
an appropriate topic (bug number in commit summary if available, local
branch name otherwise) and then uses a regular git command to submit
the change with a topic. The command is:
git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master
to push something without a topic, and
git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master/foobar
to push something with 'foobar' as the topic. git-review is really
just sugar coating around these hideous 'git push' commands.
