Add more information to "Project was moved" notification

I just received the following email from my local GitLab instance (slightly edited)

Project was moved to another location

The project is now located under <Group> / <New name>

To update the remote url in your local repository run (for ssh):

git remote set-url origin git@gitlab.mycompany.com:<group>/<new-name>.git

or for http(s):

git remote set-url origin http://gitlab.mycompany.com/<group>/<new-name>.git

There are some important details missing:

  • Who moved the project?
  • What was the old group/name of that project?
