This will provide a performance improvement over running merge_request_commits every time the page is viewed. It will also allow a merge request to continue to show its list of commits after it has been merged. (Currently they will show no commits, since the downstream fork has nothing new relative to the upstream primary)

    • make sure to restart taskd, so it gets the code changes
    • test as a project admin, which as a one-click merge button, and thus more code runs to check mergability
    • the cached list of commits won't update if there are new commits upstream (origin) e.g. if a single commit was cherry-picked, or if there was some branch with shared commits that got merged. I think that is ok though, since it keeps thing simpler, and is not really a big problem if it does happen. Moreover, if we did update the list of commits, it would go to 0 after the merge request got merged, which is what we're trying to avoid :)
