 gitlab does offer one feature that makes this slightly less annoying: 
 the MR branch is available at a fixed location, which you can fetch 
 from directly via the target branch's remote, without adding a new 
 remote for the fork. 
  
 Soemthing like this: 
    git fetch origin +merge-requests/299/head:m 
 which leaves you with a local branch `m` which is the same as the MR. 
  
 The you can use your favourite tool to make a prefix branch out of it, 
 or cherry pick, or whatever.  If that merges into main, the gitlab 
 view of the MR is adjusted accordingly. 
  
 HTH. 
  
 Ian. 
  
 PS: I agree (obviously) with everything you're saying in this thread.
