 those.

+Zuul References
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+As the DependentPipelineManager may combine several changes together
+for testing when performing speculative execution, determining exactly
+how the workspace should be set up when running a Job can be complex.
+To alleviate this problem, Zuul performs merges itself, merging or
+cherry-picking changes as required and identifies the result with a
+Git reference of the form ``refs/zuul/<branch>/Z<random sha1>``.
+Preparing the workspace is then a simple matter of fetching that ref
+and checking it out.  The parameters that provide this information are
+described in :ref:`launchers`.
+
+These references need to be made available via a Git repository that
+is available to Jenkins.  You may accomplish this by either allowing
+Zuul to push the references back to Gerrit, in which case you may
+simply use the Gerrit Git repository.  If you do not have access to
+the Gerrit repository, or would prefer Zuul not push its refs there,
+you may directly serve the Git repositories that Zuul uses, and
+configure Jenkins to use those.  Instructions for each of these
+alternatives are in the following sections.
+
+Pushing to Gerrit
+"""""""""""""""""
+
+If you want to push Zuul refs back to Gerrit, set the following
+permissions for your project (or ``All-Projects``) in Gerrit (where
+``CI Tools`` is a group of which the user you created above is a
+member)::
+
+    [access "refs/zuul/*"]
+            create = group CI Tools
+            push = +force CI Tools
+            pushMerge = group CI Tools
+    [access "refs/for/refs/zuul/*"]
+            pushMerge = group CI Tools
+
+And set ``push_change_refs`` to ``true`` in the ``zuul`` section of
+zuul.conf.
+
+Serving Zuul Git Repos
+""""""""""""""""""""""
+
+Zuul maintains its own copies of any needed Git repositories in the
+directory specified by ``git_dir`` in the ``zuul`` section of
+zuul.conf (by default, /var/lib/zuul/git).  If you want to serve
+Zuul's Git repositories in order to provide Zuul refs for Jenkins, you
+can configure Apache to do so using the following directives::
+
+  SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/lib/zuul/git
+  SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
+
+  AliasMatch ^/p/(.*/objects/[0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38})$ /var/lib/zuul/git/$1
+  AliasMatch ^/p/(.*/objects/pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}.(pack|idx))$ /var/lib/zuul/git/$1
+  ScriptAlias /p/ /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend/
+
+And set ``push_change_refs`` to ``false`` (the default) in the
+``zuul`` section of zuul.conf.
+
+Note that Zuul's Git repositories are not bare, which means they have
+a working tree, and are not suitable for public consumption (for
+instance, a clone will produce a repository in an unpredictable state
+depending on what the state of Zuul's repository is when the clone
+happens).  They are, however, suitable for automated systems that
+respond to Zuul triggers.
