Due to a massive storm of spam, registration on this instance now requires explicit administrator approval. Sorry for the added friction, we're also looking into automatic filtering options.

Branch creation in the Web IDE

The Web IDE mostly works, but it has problems with branch creation: In short the only mode that works is if the user has enough rights to commit changes on the current branch.

  1. the default placeholder branch name looks like USER-branch/default-patch-NNNN where NNNN is some number, mostly random. Heptapod will refuse to create such a branch, and that's a good thing. We should have a topic/default/user-NNNN instead, and (obviously) actually create a topic.
  2. by default, it's meant to produce a Merge Request. We did not yet check if a fork was entailed, because of 1.

About problem 1, there are at least three different places in the code that produce such branch names, including in JavaScripts. That's not really a surprise, but we're blocked here because we can't deploy changes in these (Omnibus).

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
