How to set up and validate locally

  1. Enable the redirect_with_ref_type feature flag
  2. Create a project that has a branch and a tag with the same name
  3. Browse the repository and switch between the tag and branch created in step 2
  4. The correct content should be shown for the selected branch/tag
  5. Navigating from Respository > Branches to the branch created in step 2 should also show the correct commit messages and content
