Support path parameter for repository download via API
What does this MR do and why?
This MR adds another parameter to the repository download API (GET /projects/:id/repository/archive[.format]
), path
. Using path
you can restrict the download to only a subfolder of the repository. This is symmetric to the already existing UI feature. Therefore, the implementation was quite easy.

How to set up and validate locally
- Find the project id with at least one subfolder
- Call or open
https://<GITLAB-URL>/api/v4/projects/<project-id>/repository/archive?path=<subfolder-path>
(use authentication as needed) - The HTTP result will have the
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
header and therefore trigger the download of atar.gz
file - Inside the archive file only the folder given step 2 will be present
