Permit to create/update/delete protected branches without repository

Vasilii Iakliushin requested to merge 333286_allow_to_modify_protected_refs_without_repo into master

What does this MR do and why?

Contributes to #333286 (closed)

The verification for empty repository was introduced 10 years ago (see commit: 37224dc9).

I think this restriction is not necessary and users can protect their branches before the repository was created.

How to set up and validate locally

  1. Create an empty project
  2. Add a protected branch and save
  3. Validate that the protection branch appears
