Added setting to set new users by default as external ## What does this MR do? This implements the feature request #14508. It adds an option in the application settings to set new users by default as external. ## Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check? Everything. Like I mentioned in the discussion of the issue my knowledge of Ruby basically doesn't exists. I tested it on my machine and it seems to work, but as I am very unexperienced in Ruby I highly recommend to take a close look at the code. ## Why was this MR needed? It was requested by @DouweM to work on the issue with the proposed changes by me. ## What are the relevant issue numbers? This MR is for the issue #14508 that followed up after the implementation of #4009. See merge request !4545
Allow specifying protected branches using wildcards
Closes #18627
# Tasks
- [ ] #18627 !4665 Allow specifying protected branches using wildcards
- [x] Find existing usages of protected branches
- Protecting branches
- `ProtectedBranchesController` is used to mark a branch protected/unprotected
- `API::Branches` can be used to mark a branch protected/unprotected
- Enforcing branch protection
- `Gitlab::GitAccess` has helpers (`can_push_to_branch?`, `check`) that are used to deny pushes if a branch is protected
- Over SSH: `gitlab-shell` receives a push, and calls `/allowed` on the GitLab API, which calls `GitAccess.check`
- Over HTTP:
- `gitlab-workhorse` receives the request, and forwards it to rails
- Rails (in the `GitHttpController#git-recieve-pack`) runs basic checks (is the user logged in, not protected branch checks) and returns ok with `GL_ID` and `RepoPath`
- `gitlab-workhorse` looks at the response, and calls the relevant `gitlab-shell` action from `git-http/handlePostRPC`
- Rest of this flow is the same as the SSH flow above

- [x] move this regex to a method and memoize it
- [x] `commit_sha` directly for exact matches
- [x] Number of matches for wildcard matches, with a link
- [x] Wait for [build](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/43f9ce0e88194b8f719bb1c1e656b7fc13278d56/builds) to pass
- [x] Respond to @DouweM's comments
- [x] Don't use iid
- [x] Controller should use `@project.protected_branches.new`
- [x] move the memoization to `def wildcard_regex`
- [x] render with `collection: @protected_branches`
- [x] Wait for [build](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/f7beedf122fa0c7aa89e86181fe7499321fb10ca/builds) to pass
- [x] Wait for @DouweM's review

- [x] Respond to @jschatz1's comments
- [x] Use the new dropdown style
- [x] description should be moved to the description section without the styling
- [x] Protect button should be disabled when no branch is selected
- [x] Update screenshots
- [x] Merge conflicts
- [x] Make sure [build](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/20f3cfe8d5540eab64c2ba548043d600b28c61ba/builds) passes
- [ ] Revisit performance, possibly with staging/production data
- [ ] Get a dump of staging / run against staging live
- [ ] Get SSH access to staging
- [ ] Wait for review/merge

New diff notes
Fixes #12732, #14731, #19375, #14783
Builds on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/4110
To do:
- [x] Get it mostly working
- [x] Validate position validity
- [x] Fix: Don’t link to `#`
- [x] Fix: Base ref can be `nil`, potentially, when the MR has an oprhan source branch => Yep, doesn’t work. We need to store a `start_id`
- [x] Optimize: Fewer duplicate `git diff` compares
- [x] Optimize: Pass paths to `PositionTracer#diff` for faster diffs
- [x] Refactor: Use `head_id` in `MergeRequest`/`MergeRequestDiff` instead of `source_sha`
- [x] Refactor: Convert existing array-based diff refs to the DiffRefs model
- [x] Tweak: Use `note_type` in `Autosave` key
- [x] Tweak: Remove `line_code: note.line_code` from `link_to_reply_discussion`
- [x] Update: `SentNotifications` and reply-by-email receiver
- [x] Update: MR diff notification email
- [x] Update: API (MR, Commit note creation and entity)
- [x] Update: GitHub importer
- [x] Address any other TODO comments
- [x] Fix: Suppress "edited 4 minutes ago"
- [x] Write tests
- [x] `LineMapper`
- [x] `PositionTracer`
- [x] `Position`
- [x] `DiffPositionUpdateService`
- [x] `DiffNote`
- [x] `MergeRequests::RefreshService` / `MergeRequest#update_diff_notes_positions`
- [x] Make sure commits with diff notes don't get cleaned up, since this would prevent the diff notes from being rendered (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/5062)
Future improvements:
- Display unresolved comments on files outside the diff, if the comment was added when that file _was_ part of the diff
- Allow commenting on sections between hunks, when expanding the diff using `...`
- (We'd need to generate line code based on Position if we have it, even if it falls outside bounds of diff)
- `diff_hunk` on diff note API entity
- Show diff hunk in notification email
- Resolved line notes would have a boolean, and be inactive through `notes.any? { !active? || resolved? }`
- Multi line notes would store a number of positions, and do the right thing (™) in grouping and then rendering if the first item is multiline? => true
- Image diff notes could store x,y,width,height instead of old_line,new_line for similar grouping. Does it need a reference to say if it's on old or new? These can't have line_codes, clearly. Rendering would be interesting.
- Show commit line comments in the MR diff
- Comment on specific selected words
- Comment on file header
- Unfold top of discussion diff note
- New diff notes API for commits and MRs

If the Sidekiq job fails for some reason, a project can be 'stuck' pending deletion. The project can't be viewed, so it shouldn't be available through the notification settings association as this will throw an exception when we try to show the link.
As requested by the issue #14508 this adds an option in the application settings to set newly registered users by default as external. The default setting is set to false to stay backward compatible.
1. The `open_branches` method is used to provide a list of branches while creating a protected branch. 2. It makes sense to include branches which are matched by one or more wildcard protected branches, since the user might want to make exact protected branches from these as well. 3. This also provides a large performance improvement. On my machine, in a project with 5000 branches and 2000 protected branches, the `ProtectedBranches#index` page went from a 40 seconds load time to 4 seconds (10x speedup).
