in GitLab, a PR may be open while the branch itself has been removed. We cant just assume that the branch exists because the PR does, even if it’s an edge case.
Allow the `gitAuthor` configuration option to override the committer
property when creating or updating a file within GitLab. Port of #1280
which introduced the same capability for GitHub.
Closes#1281

Previously, our GitLab API library was checking if a a branch existed first before trying to create it. But due to caching, a branch we'd deleted ourselves still showed up as existing, so then there was no branch to update the files in. Skip this check and use try/catch for creating branch instead.
Fixes#1468
This PR updates Renovate to detect config validation problems and (1) stop processing, and (2) either raise an Issue if already onboarded, or (2) update the onboarding PR to reflect the error if still onboarding.
Closes#1300
Previously, Renovate's "Configure Renovate" onboarding branch would never get rebased after it was created. Now, it will be rebased every time the base branch is updated, unless the list of modified files is more than `renovate.json` alone.
Closes#1111
GitLab’s API requires assignee *id* and not *username* when adding assignees to a merge request. Now, we allow Renovate users to still configure usernames and we will look up the ID and use it in the request instead.
Closes#1131
Remove original getFile, getFileContent, and getFileJson and replace with getFile (which used to be getFileContent.. shortened now for convenience). Also remove unused getSubdirectories functions.
Existing solution uses HTML bodies for PR descriptions, as that was the easiest way to get consistency between GitHub and GitLab. However, VSTS supports only markdown so we needed to refactor how this is done. Now, GitHub PR bodies uses only minimal HTML (for summary/details) while GitLab PR bodies are converted to HTML using GitHub flavoured markdown for maximum compatibility. VSTS will be able to strip out the minimal markdown.
Closes#1018
