Exception request
- Merge request to be considered for picking: gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!23314 and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/23455
Why it needs to be picked
This is an ongoing issue with GitLab.com that has been around for roughly 2 weeks.
- Initial issue: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/53778
- Since it's closed, support has received further requests: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/infrastructure/issues/5640
There does not exist a workaround. End users are forced to retry until potential success.
Potential negative impact of picking
/cc @brodock I'm unsure of how to best answer the below questions:
(Explain what could go wrong with the release if the MR is picked.) (Include a description of the worst case scenario in case something breaks.) (Include an estimate of the potential number of users affected by any negative impact.) (Explain the steps you took to minimize the risk.)
