Create a solution for missing /duplicate #NNNN
We are not hip enough with our Gitlab Community Edition to be allowed to
use the /duplicate #NNNN functionality. However, having that would be
very desirable.
The workflow for us for closing duplicates in Trac was:
- Closing a ticket $foo as duplicate mentioning which ticket $bar it was a duplicate of.
- Going to ticket $bar and adding all the folks being Cc'ed to or the reporter of ticket $foo to ticket $bar's Cc list.
- Mentioning in a comment to ticket $bar that ticket $foo was a duplicate.
Ideally, we would get 2) and 3) automatically once we do 1).
I've not a good handle yet on what is possible with Gitlab, but I am willing to help with that issue, I think. @ahf had some ideas to start with, though, IIRC.
