 Yes, this feature is nice and is enabled by default. If you review a 
 MR and click "merge" before the CI passed, it will hold merging until 
 the CI actually passes.

 Yes, and this is how I personally always review. Unfortunately it is 
 not the main way that GitLab promotes merging, so to start 
 commit-by-commit review one needs to first open the "Commits" tab, 
 then scroll down to the first commit (commits are listed in reverse 
 chronological order) and click on the first commit. Once you get 
 there, you see the git commit message and the changes of a single 
 commit. It is easy to review a single commit and add remarks in this 
 view, and when done use the "Next" button to move to next commit.

 Yep, it does not. Both GitLab and GitHub approach MR/PR from the 
 viewpoint that somebody is suggesting to merge branch X on Y, and then 
 that branch is eventually fully merged or not (but you can configure 
 to do the merge via --ff-only or --rebase or --squash). 
  
 GitLab is not perfect, but it is what Debian ended up choosing, and 
 92% of packages are there, so we might as well try to get the most out 
 of it.
