Creating merge requests

[mcepl]

When I push a new commit to my GitLab repository, I would love to be able to create a new merge request in Gitlab (as I can make a new review on Gerrit, for example).

Would love this feature too. But i would prefer creating merge requests on an existing issue not on a push (that should be implemented by gitlab itself like issue closing).

Workflow for new issues could be:

1. Create an issue
2. Choose an issue and decide to work on it (-> activate task)
3. On activation you are asked if you want to create a new online feature branch with mr (should be configurable) if it does not exist yet
4. If user confirms, create branch and merge request (with "WIP:" perfix) from repositories default branch (default master)
5. Fill task with new informations like regarding links to merge request

Workflow could end up like this:

1. Working on that issue
2. If ready change status (but not close it) of task and remove prefix "WIP:" from merge request
3. Handle merge request in gitlab (gitlab automatically closes issue if you have configured it correctly)
