The 17.0 major release is coming on May 16, 2024! This version brings many exciting improvements to GitLab, but also removes some deprecated features. We are introducing three breaking change windows during which we expect breaking changes to be deployed to GitLab.com. You can read more about it on our blogpost . The first breaking change window begins 2024-04-22 09:00UTC and ends 2024-04-24 22:00UTC.

James Lopez requested to merge fix/group-path-rename-error into master Dec 20, 2016

Fixes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/17922 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/23223

When there are tags in the container registry, the group removal is not allowed. We should gracefully recover from the error and notify the user.
