### Summary As a gitlab-ee user whose team only creates debian packages, it is impossible to specify the location (debian/changelog) for the changelog (available on the main repository page). ### Steps to reproduce * Click "Add changelog" * Change path to debian/changelog * Click "Commmit changes" Error: A file with this name already exists. ### Example Project * https://salsa.debian.org/debian/devscripts does not have changelog configured because the file location is in "./debian" * https://salsa.debian.org/debian/freetype has it configured because the changelog is in the root directory. Other distributions using a hosted gitlab that could benefit from this feature: * https://git.devuan.org ### What is the current *bug* behavior? Error message appears, action is denied. ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? No error message, location of changelog is saved. ### Relevant logs and/or screenshots None ### Output of checks None #### Results of GitLab environment info Not relevant #### Results of GitLab application Check Not relevant ### Possible fixes No workaround found. What was tested: removing the file via git, adding changelog location via GUI, pulling code and restoring contents of file.
