[Bug] Loading Web IDE on deleted branch loads empty project

MR: pending

Description

When loading the Web IDE with a deleted branch, there's no warning of the fact that the branch does not exist. Instead, the Web IDE loads with no project data. See screen recording for more details:

demo.mov

Steps to reproduce:

  • Create new branch in Rails app
  • Load Web IDE in that branch
  • Delete branch
  • Reload Web IDE– observe that it is still loaded but is empty.

It would be a better UX if we can show an alert to indicate that the branch no longer exists and give users the option to checkout to the main branch.
