[Investigation] Split out mergeable/mergeable_state into more cohesive methods
When trying to move some code from mergeable
-> mergeable_state
, we had an incident occur (gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#6788 (closed)). This incident was due to mergeable_state
being used to check if we can run a merged result pipeline. gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#6788 (comment 905268171) explains further.
mergeable_state
is ambiguous in naming, and the assumption here is that it is can be merged, and then we have mergeable
which could imply the same checks as mergeable_state
. mergeable
calls mergeable_state
so mergeable_state
is a subset of checks of mergeable
Therefore, this issue is to investigate the different uses of mergeable_state
and potentially split it out into different methods, for example, a new method that checks if it is mergeable on a git level.
