FAQ

• Why is there still clickable links on deleted source/target branches name?

Due to a technical GitLab limitation, the extension has no reliable way to determine if a branch has been deleted. Therefore, branches name are always links and are always clickable even though it's leading to a 404 page.

• Can you display a link to the Merge Request linked to the target branch, if any?

It would be great, however the extension has no reliable way to do that due to a technical GitLab limitation.

• Pipeline status icons aren't being automatically updated on Merge Requests lists (it is on other pages), can you add this feature?

That was the initial idea for the 1.6 release, however it's not possible due to a technical GitLab limitation.

• Some feature looks broken on GitLab version [old version of GitLab]. Can you please fix that?

Nope. I don't want to deal with old versions of GitLab. Too much work.
