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.
