Re-introduce the Redis set cache for branch and tag names - but don't enable it yet
What does this MR do?
In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/30476, we introduced a cache using Redis sets for branch and tag names. In https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/32408 we revert it because cache invalidation is incorrect in mixed-code environments, such as during a zero-downtime deploy.
This MR reverts that last revert, and adds some code that means we will expire the new keys, but never set or consult them. In %12.4, we can start doing so by changing just a couple of lines in app/models/repository.rb
, and a mixed code environment of 12.3 and 12.4 nodes will behave appropriately. This represents an abundance of caution, but will prevent us from expiring (and so needing to re-fill) an expensive cache entry more frequently than necessary.
