UI improvement for Create project / Github cloning

Created by: RopoMen

Hi,

I just had my Gitlab installed and created my first repository from one Github repository. I entered all required details and added my own project description, etc.

The "problem" was that I didn't have any SSH keys added to my profile and almost immediately when I pressed "Create project" button I got "errors" that I didn't have any SSH keys added so I could not push/pull. That happened because Github project was so small and it got cloned fast.

When I pressed "Create project" only thing that I wanted to know was that "Is that Github repository cloned?" -> Was that project created successfully? Well, it was, but because the first view on project was empty (Activity) I tought that something went wrong (Didn't realize to check under the Files).

So I was like WTF, do I need SSH keys to clone that Github repository :D

I know that when I wan't to push/pull from my own repository I need ssh keys to make things easy.

So If you could just add notification for the user like "External repository was cloned successfullly, please create SSH keys to push/pull your own repository" and everything would have been very clear =)

That's all, great job!
