It's too easy to mistype an email or password when signing up.
The support team is receiving an increasing number of requests
because users mistype their email. We can eliminate this problem
by requiring users to confirm the email before registering. The
same issue can occur for the password field so we should add
this, too. We should note that password confirmation is part
of the default Devise forms. I don't know why/when GitLab
removed it.
Javascript does not support the negative lookbehind assertion (?<!) used
in the Ruby regex (to disallow usernames ending in `.git` or `.atom`.
Getting the client side code to fully support this format is
non-trivial, since we'd either have to heavily complicate the
regex used, or modify the frontend code to support more complex
validation schemes (it currently uses HTML5 validations).
The pragmatic choice is to create a
`Gitlab::Regex::NAMESPACE_REGEX_STR_SIMPLE` regex to serve as a
Javascript-compatible version of `NAMESPACE_REGEX_STR`.
The client-side code will not display an error for usernames ending in
`.git` and `.atom`, but these will be caught by the server-side
validation.
Rename users routing from /u/:username to /users/:username for
consistency with other routes
Renames /u/:username to /users/:username
To follow consistency with other routes (like groups) and
UsersController name.
Now when you can use `/:username` for accessing user page there is no
need in shortcut like `/u/`

- Tab between register and sign in forms
- Add individual input validation error messages
- Validate username
- Update many styles for all login-box forms
This simplifies the "Report button" to not use open a dropdown and
adds a tooltip on this button.
This also removes an extra spec and adds missing specs.
We were having the following issues:
- the indicator would sometimes stay red even if the password that was
entered was long enough;
- the indicator had a middle yellow signal: what does that mean?
- the red/green backgrounds were not color-blind-friendly.
