GitLab

The issue is encountered when a Merge Request is created from a fork of a project.

1. Create Merge Request with latest commit from fork master to original project master.
2. Click Submit Merge Request button.
3. Routed to error 500 page (see attached screenshot)
4. The Merge Request is created despite the error, but it is empty when viewed on GitLab.
5. When the Merge Request is pulled into the local repository of a machine you will see that it does contain a commit and is not empty.
