Inform user when their fork is behind from the upstream
Problem to solve
When making contributions to forking, it is important that our fork is up-to-date with contents from the upstream repo. Currently users cannot know if their fork is behind until they create an MR targeting the upstream.
Proposal
When commits are made to a fork, GitLab should check the state of the fork vs the upstream, and inform user when fork is behind.
