Merged features not visible in branche overview

Summary

Before Gitlab 16.1 you could see if a feature was merged into another branche. Now you only see this when the target branche still exists. So when you delete the target branche, the feature wil show 'new merge request' instead of the initial merge requests which is merged.

Steps to reproduce

  • Branch: milestone/1.0.0
  • Branch: feature/1-issue

Scenario: feature/1-issue merged into milestone/1.0.0

-> Status of feature/1-issue (visual): Closed

Scenario: feature/1-issue merged into milestone/1.0.0, but milestone/1.0.0 does not exist anymore.

-> Status of feature/1-issue (visual): New merge request

In this case, it is not visually indicated that this branch has already been merged.
