title: Test if remote repository exists when importing wikis

Test if remote repository exists before cloning When a repository does not exist on a remote, Gitaly won't be able to clone it. This is correct behaviour, but from the clients perspective a change in behaviour. This change implements the client side changes that allows Gitaly to execute a `git ls-remote <remote-url> HEAD`. This way the client has no need to shell out to Git. In the situation where multiple Gitalies are available, one is chosen at random. This commit closes https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/43929, while its also a part of https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/issues/1084 2018-03-27 05:48:11 -04:00			`---`
