Destroy Fork relationship

• Customer / Requester: Very large organisation

It should be possible to remove a fork relationship through the UI.

I propose we add this near the reference of the original source in the forked project.

@JobV for sure not. Why would you need remove fork reference button on project page.

I don't like idea of feature in general. But I think there is a case when you don't use origin project for merge request anymore and want to remove relation. In this case it should be hidden somewhere in project settings

@dzaporozhets because that is AFAIK the only reference to a project being a fork.

BTW I'm OK with putting it in the project settings.

@JobV ok because it makes no sense on project page

If we do this, should we also add the possibility to set a fork relation for the project? (which is possible via the API already)?

If it's possible through the API, it makes sense to me. But I'm not a big fan, because of creating easily unrelated projects.
