This is seriously confusing but a target branch in merge request,
is actually the source branch for GitOperationService, which is
the base branch. The source branch in a merge request, is the
target branch for GitOperationService, which is where we want to
make commits.

Perhaps we should rename source branch in GitOperationService to
base branch, and target branch to committing branch.

We merge repository checks inside it so we don't have to
check it on the call site, and we could also load the commit
for the caller. This greatly reduce code duplication.

Merge branch '25836-changing-from-version-in-diff-comparison-does-not-preserve-to-version' into 'master'

Resolve changing "from" version in diff comparison does not preserve "to" version

Closes #25836

See merge request !8328

We allow users to configure LDAP attribute preferences. For example,
email can be configured to use `mail`, `email` and `userPrincipalName`,
falling through to the next until a value is found. Prior to this
change, Gitlab::LDAP::Person did not honor this configuration. Now,
the class will honor `name` and `mail` configuration. It does not
handle `username`, or fallback to `first_name` + `last_name` in the
absence of `name`.

Resolve "Label autocomplete doesn't handle spaces after `~~`"
