merge_request push options without .create should update the url returned by Gitlab
Release notes
Problem to solve
When using the merge_request.target=<target> push option without also giving merge_request.creat, Gitlab replies with the following error:
remote: ========================================================================
remote:
remote: WARNINGS: Error encountered with push options
remote: 'merge_request.target=<target>': A merge_request.create push option
remote: is required to create a merge request for branch
remote: <source>
remote:
remote: ========================================================================
remote:
remote: To create a merge request for <source>, visit:
remote: https://gitlab.com/<project>/-/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=<source>
remote:This is very clear, but it could also provide a link with the target branch already set. And simplify creating the merge request via the URL.
Proposal
Using merge_request.* push options should work without merge_request.create and update the URL.
$ git push -o merge_request.target=<target> origin <source>
remote:
remote: To create a merge request for <source> visit:
remote: https://gitlab.com/<project>/-/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=<source>&merge_request%5Btarget_branch%5B=<target>
