Graceful degradation of the Project Page when Gitaly is unavailable
If Gitaly is not available, add an empty state page with a message, for example "The Gitaly server is not available at this time" ?
- Don't issue a 500 if Gitaly is not available
- Display a message on the relevant page
Related to #332339 (closed).
Proposal
- Add a non-dismissable In-page alert.
- Alert title should read:
Unable to load project
- Alert message should read
The git server, Gitaly, is not available at this time. Contact your administrator.
