Project creation: Can we have manual repo naming back?
Created by: Gorgoroth
4.0 is awesome, thank you guys!
When you create a new project in Gitlab 4.0, you cannot manually enter the slugs for the repository name and the path anymore. In 3.1 those inputs were generated automatically for you, so the functionality was not in the way of usability but you could change them to suit your needs.
I used prefixes for my repository names (web-PROJECTNAME1, rails-PROJECTNAME2, cpp-PROJECTNAME3 etc.) for simplification of different deployment types at the web hook endpoint but keep the visible project names in Gitlab clean.
Any chance to get that functionality back?
