Trigger more than 1 merge request through git push options
### Problem to solve When using Gitflow I need to create 2 merge requests when pushing hotfixes. I tried to create those 2 branches without gitlab UI by running following commands: ``` # Hotfix push ja merge request git push origin HEAD -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=master git push origin HEAD -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=development ``` But second command fails since there's no new changes to push ### Intended users This is useful for Developers which are using the Gitflow workflow. ![git-flow](/uploads/32ae9291922d13098de812c97506c28d/git-flow.png) (source: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/gitflow-workflow) ### Proposal I think we could add comma separated list into `merge_request.target` ``` git push origin HEAD -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.target=development,master ``` or we could add a new flag `merge_request.targets` ``` git push origin HEAD -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.targets=development,master ``` ### What does success look like, and how can we measure that? After Developer pushes the branch to gitlab with `merge_request.targets=development,master` push option I should see 2 merge requests opened for the project. User should also see all of the created branches in the output and somehow show which one is which: ``` $ git push origin hotfix/change-something -o merge_request.create -o merge_request.targets=development,master Enumerating objects: 9, done. Counting objects: 100% (9/9), done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads Compressing objects: 100% (5/5), done. Writing objects: 100% (5/5), 459 bytes | 24.00 KiB/s, done.
