    Fix extra merge request versions created from forked merge requests · 0509c3cf
    Stan Hu authored
    When a forked merge request was created with the same branch name as the
    target name, MergeRequests::RefreshService would always create a new
    diff even though nothing had changed. For example, on GitLab.com:
    
    1. There were a number of merge requests in the gitlab-ce and www-gitlab-com
    projects that had old merge requests from the community.
    2. These merge requests originated from forked projects and used the
    source branch master.
    3. When someone pushed to master in the main repository, MergeRequests::RefreshService
    would see that master matched the merge requests in question and generated a new
    diff.
    4. This led to an explosion of merge request diffs and slowed down the "Changes"
    tab considerably.
    
    This change alters MergeRequests::RefreshService so that it will only
    refresh the diff if the merge request's source project and branch
    match. Otherwise, the refresh will only happen if a pushed commit
    contains a commit relevant to the existing merge request.
