I can no longer initiate a merge request from my VTK fork. Has something been changed in Gitlab webview?

Well for some reason posting an MR now opens it against my fork instead of VTK master.  
It’s as if permission has been revoked on my account.

When you first create the MR, click the “change branches” link. Make sure the target branch is in “vtk/vtk” and not “you/vtk”.

Thanks @dgobbi I don’t know how that got screwed up.

It was observed recently elsewhere as well. It depends on which button you use to create the MR. Some on the webpage default to your fork as a target and others end up targeting the source repo instead. I generally use the links offered in the output of `git push` myself which have been reliable at least.
