Closing and reopening a merge request puts it in a "limbo" state
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/2822 was closed, and then I reopened it
- I pushed new commits to the same branch - those changes were never shown in the MR
- I deleted the branch - that change was never shown in the MR
- I restored the branch - that change was never shown in the MR
I searched for it in the MR list. Note that it was "Open" at the time of these screenshots, but it's not found in Opened, Merged, or Closed:
