Allow specifying protected branches using wildcards
Closes#18627
# Tasks
- [ ] #18627!4665 Allow specifying protected branches using wildcards
- [x] Find existing usages of protected branches
- Protecting branches
- `ProtectedBranchesController` is used to mark a branch protected/unprotected
- `API::Branches` can be used to mark a branch protected/unprotected
- Enforcing branch protection
- `Gitlab::GitAccess` has helpers (`can_push_to_branch?`, `check`) that are used to deny pushes if a branch is protected
- Over SSH: `gitlab-shell` receives a push, and calls `/allowed` on the GitLab API, which calls `GitAccess.check`
- Over HTTP:
- `gitlab-workhorse` receives the request, and forwards it to rails
- Rails (in the `GitHttpController#git-recieve-pack`) runs basic checks (is the user logged in, not protected branch checks) and returns ok with `GL_ID` and `RepoPath`
- `gitlab-workhorse` looks at the response, and calls the relevant `gitlab-shell` action from `git-http/handlePostRPC`
- Rest of this flow is the same as the SSH flow above
- [x] Implementation
- [x] Backend
- [x] Change `project#protected_branch?` to look at wildcard protected branches
- [x] Change `project#developers_can_push_to_protected_branch?`
- [x] Change `project#open_branches`
- [x] Better error message when creating a disallowed branch from the Web UI
- [x] Frontend
- [x] Protected branches page should allow typing out a wildcard pattern
- [x] Add help text explaining the use of wildcards
- [x] Show matching branches for each protected branch
- [x] ~~On the index page~~
- [x] On a show page
- [x] Index?
- [x] Can't have the "last commit" column for wildcard protected branches
- [x] Fix / write tests
- [x] What happens if a hook is missing in dev?
- [x] Refactor
- [x] Test workflows
- Create a branch matching a wildcard pattern
- Push to a branch matching a wildcard pattern
- Force push to a branch matching a wildcard pattern
- Delete a branch matching a wildcard pattern
- [x] Test using Web UI
- [x] Test over SSH
- [x] Test over HTTP
- [x] Test as developer and master
- [x] Investigate performance
- [x] Test with a large number of protected branches / branches
- [x] Paginate list of protected branches
- [x] ~~Possibly rewrite `open_branches`~~
- [x] Add `iid`s to existing `ProtectedBranch`es
- [x] Add documentation
- [x] Add CHANGELOG entry
- [x] Add screenshots
- [x] Make sure [build](2f753e3ed2/builds) passes
- [x] Assign to endboss for review
- [x] Address @DouweM's comments
- [x] `protected_branch_params`
- [x] `exact_match` instead of `explicit_match`
- [x] When would self.name be blank?
- [x] Move `protected_branches.each` to a partial
- [x] Move `matching_branches.each` to a partial
- [x] If the branch is in @matching_branches, it's not been removed
- [x] move this regex to a method and memoize it
- [x] `commit_sha` directly for exact matches
- [x] Number of matches for wildcard matches, with a link
- [x] Wait for [build](43f9ce0e88/builds) to pass
- [x] Respond to @DouweM's comments
- [x] Don't use iid
- [x] Controller should use `@project.protected_branches.new`
- [x] move the memoization to `def wildcard_regex`
- [x] render with `collection: @protected_branches`
- [x] Wait for [build](f7beedf122/builds) to pass
- [x] Wait for @DouweM's review
- [x] Wait for @jschatz1's review
- [x] Respond to @jschatz1's comments
- [x] Use the new dropdown style
- [x] description should be moved to the description section without the styling
- [x] Protect button should be disabled when no branch is selected
- [x] Update screenshots
- [x] Merge conflicts
- [x] Make sure [build](20f3cfe8d5/builds) passes
- [ ] Revisit performance, possibly with staging/production data
- [ ] Get a dump of staging / run against staging live
- [ ] Get SSH access to staging
- [ ] Wait for review/merge
