The section "Release notes" can be used as a summary of the feature and is also required if you want to have your release post blog MR auto generated using the release post item generator: https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/blog/release-posts/#release-post-item-generator. The remaining sections are the backbone for every feature in GitLab. The goal of this template is brevity for quick/smaller iterations. For a more thorough list of considerations for larger features or feature sets, you can leverage the detailed [feature proposal](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/.gitlab/issue_templates/Feature%20proposal%20-%20detailed.md). --> ### Release notes * Added API endpoint to retrieve children of a tree node by id rather than path ### Problem to solve I want to be able to request the children of a tree based on the tree's id (or sha?) ### Proposal `/repository/tree?sha=jas98dfn21` to request the children of a tree rather than using the tree's path ### Intended users Developers using the Gitlab API Personas are described at https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/personas/ * [Priyanka (Platform Engineer)](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product/personas/#priyanka-platform-engineer) I believe the Github API only allows requesting by SHA/ID
