Summary
When mirroring a repository the default_branch doesn't get updated in Gitlab when its changed remotely.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new project mirroring a remote repository.
- Verify the mirror is successful (default_branch is set)
- Update default_branch on the remote repository
- Manually Sync mirrored repository.
The mirror does respect the default_branch on the initial mirror/creation. So if the remote repository is set to not_master the mirror in Gitlab will match. But no updates make it in.
What is the current bug behavior?
The default branch is ignored
What is the expected correct behavior?
Default branch should match mirrored repository
