Issue 3741: (REG 2.11->2.12) Merge validator exception type is ignored
Reported by org...@gmail.com, Dec 31, 2015
Affected Version: 2.12

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Push a change
2. Activate the cookbook plugin
3. Try to submit the change as a non-administrator user

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A "Missing dependency" message should appear. Instead, the message reads "change is new".

Please provide any additional information below.
I have my own exception, which I added to the CommitMergeStatus list, and my plugin throws.

I think we now understand the cause of this error and it ended up getting fixed as part of the refactoring in https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/73535. But that is a huge series of changes and doesn't belong in stable-2.12.

Assigning to sbeller to see if he can make a more minimal bugfix change that is appropriate for 2.12.
