Problem to solve

Create-on-push has resulted in a number of implicit project creations on my behalf that I've needed to delete. I find the feature less than helpful, personally, because such projects are not linked as forks and then require deleting the generated project by hand.

Intended users

Those who do not want implicit project creation.

Further details

Users won't be confused why their "fork" is not a fork on GitLab.

Proposal

Offer an option to disable implicit project creation for users and groups.

Permissions and Security

The user themselves or the group owners.

Documentation

Notes on the option and possibly screenshots.

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

A way to disable implicit project creation exists.
