Our self-hosted Gitlab version is 17.6. We have an ultimate license on our self-hosted instance.
We use webhooks from our self-hosted Gitlab to an external API in order to trigger certain events in our organisation. The webhooks from Gitlab to our API contain information about when a file is added, removed or modified.
However, if a file is renamed it appears as an “add”, but nothing in “removed” for the old filename.
I think the webhook should include a “remove” for the old filename when a file is renamed.
Here’s an example webhook with commit-data when a file is renamed. It’s missing the old filename in the “removed” section:
