Merge request error display

Matthias Käppler requested to merge github/fork/dblessing/fix_8432 into master

Created by: dblessing

Fixes #8432 (closed)

Currently, GitLab displays an error message whenever a new merge request is created. This is often confusing for users. There is another catch point that will show an error (see screenshot) if a user clicks "Compare branches" without specifying a source or target. If a source and target branch are not specified under other circumstances I think it's OK to quietly 'fail' without showing a message. I'm not sure if this is acceptable but I can't see any pitfalls so far. Please provide feedback.
