title: Create a fork network for forks with a deleted source
merge_request: 15595
author:
type: fixed
Create fork networks for forks for which the source was deleted. That way we can join forks-of-forks into the same network even if their original source was deleted. Consider the following: `awesome-oss/badger` is forked to `coolstuff/badger`, which is forked to `user-a/badger` which in turn is forked to `user-b/badger`. When `awesome-oss/badger` is deleted, we will now create a fork network with `coolstuff/badger` as the root. The `user-a/badger` and `user-b/badger` projects will be added to the network. 2017-11-24 09:24:38 -05:00			`---`
