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
