https://gitlab.com/help should return the auto-deploy version
Brought up by @nolith during at team call, it is difficult for developers to make post-deployment patches without being able to easily determine the current version on production.
We can create different ways to query the version but I think we should additionally try to make /help
work for auto-deploy versions. Maybe this is as simple as letting omnibus write out the gitlab-ee VERSION, or maybe even allow the deployer to override it by putting the version in /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/VERSION
?
If we do either of these things it will be a dead link as this:
will point to https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/-/tags/v12.1.201906170020-493d26e4f3e.d98d7f835ad
which doesn't exist.
