editing a comment retriggers creation of all mentioned-in comments

Created by: fcelda

Editing a merge request comment (and probably other comments in general), retriggers a creation of all mentioned-in comments referred by that comment.

  1. Create a comment mentioning a commit. New mentioned-in comment is created.
  2. Click on the Edit link, edit something except the commit ID and hit Save Changes. Another mentioned-in comment is created.

I would find more useful, if the mentioned-in comments were created more smartly, e.g.:

  1. Just for newly added references.
  2. Or just one mentioned-in comment could exist.

(We edit the comments pretty heavily on large MR - we use them as a kind of a wiki page, which is probably unusual, but surely less cluttered than having a lot of comments.)
