Creating a new Merge Request times out if there are too many commits
Even after the improvements of !2705 (merged) it is still too easy to make GitLab time out while creating a Merge Request. Steps to reproduce:
- import the Linux kernel
- create a branch b1 pointing to
v2.6.13-rc4 - create a branch b2 pointing to
v2.6.14 - create a MR to merge b2 into b1
