This is for fixing a regression introduced by:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/24969

This fix will allow users who are allowed to push to protected
branches to create protected branches via CLI as well, just
like before. The checks for protected branch creation won't
need to run.

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!25871

A project is needed in order to fetch data from gitaly. Projects can be
absent from commits in certain rare situations (like when viewing a MR
of a deleted fork). In these cases, assume that the enriched data is not
needed.

See this comment:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/26144#note_152191106

"It's led to a dilemma about where to "fix" this in code. I'm going
to fix it by allowing CommitCollection#enrich! to just return unenriched
commits when a project is missing, essentially "silently failing". I
hope this is the right decision. It's going with the assumption that
calls in these situations in the future are not needing the full data.
The alternative would be to allow CommitCollection#enrich! to still
error, but handle it in the methods that call #enrich!, however that
might lead to brittleness in future when working with project-less MRs."

Fix Auto DevOps QA Smoke test hidden banner

Closes gitlab-org/quality/nightly#87

See merge request gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!26254

The banner is no longer being shown for empty repos since
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/26024 . We
could have made this assertion after pushing the repo but this is
not the thing that really needs to be in an integration or smoke test
as it is already tested in
