1. This is a third line of defence (first in the view, second in the
   controller).

2. Duplicate the `API::Helpers.to_boolean` method in `BaseService`. The
   other alternative is to `include API::Helpers`, but this brings with it
   a number of other methods that might cause conflicts.

3. Return a 403 if authorization fails.

1. The new data model moves from `developers_can_{push,merge}` to
   `allowed_to_{push,merge}`.

2. The API interface has not been changed. It still accepts
   `developers_can_push` and `developers_can_merge` as options. These
   attributes are inferred from the new data model.

3. Modify the protected branch create/update services to translate from
   the API interface to our current data model.

1. Align "Allowed to Merge" and "Allowed to Push" dropdowns.

2. Don't display a flash every time a protected branch is updated.
   Previously, we were using this so the test has something to hook onto
   before the assertion. Now we're using `wait_for_ajax` instead.

- Likely introduced during an improper conflict resolution.

1. Remove `master_or_greater?` and `developer_or_greater?` in favor of
   `max_member_access`, which is a lot nicer.

2. Remove a number of instances of `include Gitlab::Database::MigrationHelpers`
   in migrations that don't need this module. Also remove comments where
   not necessary.

3. Remove duplicate entry in CHANGELOG.

4. Move `ProtectedBranchAccessSelect` from Coffeescript to ES6.

5. Split the `set_access_levels!` method in two - one each for `merge` and
   `push` access levels.

- Based on feedback from @axil
- http://docs.gitlab.com/ce/development/ui_guide.html#buttons

1. In the context of protected branches.

2. Test this behaviour.

1. These versions of PhantomJS don't support `PATCH` requests, so we use
   a `POST` with `_method` set to `PATCH`.

1. The model now contains this humanization data, which is the once
   source of truth.

2. Previously, this was being listed out in the dropdown component as well.

1. Remove `Project#developers_can_push_to_protected_branch?` since it
   isn't used anymore.

2. Remove `Project#developers_can_merge_to_protected_branch?` since it
   isn't used anymore.

1. So it works with the new data model for protected branch access levels.

1. Get the existing spec passing.

2. Add specs for all the access control options, both while creating and
   updating protected branches.

3. Show a flash notice when updating protected branches, primarily so
   the spec knows when the update is done.

1. Reuse the same dropdown component that we used for updating these
   settings (`ProtectedBranchesAccessSelect`). Have it accept options
   for the parent container (so we can control the elements it sees) and
   whether or not to save changes via AJAX (we need this for update, but
   not create).

2. Change the "Developers" option to "Developers + Masters", which is
   clearer.

3. Remove `developers_can_push` and `developers_can_merge` from the
   model, since they're not needed anymore.

1. The crux of this change is in `UserAccess`, which looks through all
   the access levels, asking each if the user has access to push/merge
   for the current project.

2. Update the `protected_branches` factory to create access levels as
   necessary.

3. Fix and augment `user_access` and `git_access` specs.

1. Move to dropdowns instead of checkboxes. One each for "Allowed to
   Push" and "Allowed to Merge"

2. Refactor the `ProtectedBranches` coffeescript class into
   `ProtectedBranchesAccessSelect`.

3. Modify the backend to accept the new parameters.

1. Improve error handling while creating protected branches.

2. Modify coffeescript code so that the "Developers can *" checkboxes
   send a '1' or '0' even when using AJAX. This lets us keep the backend
   code simpler.

3. Use services for both creating and updating protected branches.
   Destruction is taken care of with `dependent: :destroy`

- And hook up their associations.

1. Remove the `developers_can_push` and `developers_can_merge` boolean
   columns.

2. Add two new tables, `protected_branches_push_access`, and
   `protected_branches_merge_access`. Each row of these 'access' tables is
   linked to a protected branch, and uses a `access_level` column to
   figure out settings for the protected branch.

3. The `access_level` column is intended to be used with rails' `enum`,
   with `:masters` at index 0 and `:developers` at index 1.

4. Doing it this way has a few advantages:

   - Cleaner path to planned EE features where a protected branch is
     accessible only by certain users or groups.

   - Rails' `enum` doesn't allow a declaration like this due to the
     duplicates. This approach doesn't have this problem.

       enum can_be_pushed_by: [:masters, :developers]
       enum can_be_merged_by: [:masters, :developers]

Change `LdapGroupSync` worker to use new Group Sync classes

This was missed before - somehow 😞 The old `group_sync` class was left and the worker still pointed to it. Unfortunately, this means that 8.11 shipped with the new modular code but it is not in use. In the interest of not introducing a possible regression, we may as well wait until 8.11.

Fix regression in Git Annex permission check

The `changes` in git-annex-shell mean a different thing than git-receive-pack. Revert to the previous code and use a simple check whether Git Annex is enabled.

Added update guide for 8.11

## What does this MR do?

I need to add notes about Elastic on EE side. To not create ugly conflicts in the future and to not duplicate work I created it here first.

I followed this guide https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release-tools/blob/master/doc/release-candidates.md#gitlab-ce

Replace reject_blocked with reject_blocked! in skipped callbacks.

`reject_blocked!` was introduced in c9def945, I can't find any references to `reject_blocked` ever existing.

See merge request !5532

In Rails 4.2 and below, skipping callbacks (skip_before_action, skip_after_action, etc.) that use methods which do not exist will not throw any errors.

On the other hand, Rails 5 does. See https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/19029

After testing with Rails 5 I noticed there are some methods that don't actually exist (because they were renamed, usually), this fixes a few instances of those.

Submit new issues created via the WebUI or API to Akismet for spam check on public projects.

## What does this MR do?

Submit new issues created via the WebUI by non project members to Akismet for spam check.

## Why was this MR needed?

Support for Akismet was added only to the API with !2266. This MR builds on that functionality to also check issues submitted via the WebUI for spam.

## What are the relevant issue numbers?

Related to:

- #5573 
- #5932 
- gitlab-com/infrastructure#14
- gitlab-com/support#61
- !2266
