When deleting the last Sub-project, restore its Root Project
Open, WishlistPublic

Description

Preamble: this is abonineably trivial and stupid and super-corner case.

Scenario:

  • Create Project "Awesome App Developers"
  • use that group for years
  • Today, create Sub-project Awesome App DevelopersSub-project Yeah
  • Delete "Sub-project Yeah"

What happens:

The "Awesome App" project has members that cannot be edited anymore in any non-creative way.

The user interface suggests to edit its sub-Project, but there aren't.

Current workaround 1:

Create a dummy sub-project, change members from there.

Current workaround 2:

$ mysql phabricator_project
UPDATE project SET hasSubprojects = 0 WHERE id = <awesome app id>;

Proposal:

If a CLI administrator deletes the "Sub-project Yeah" from command line with the lovely workflow ./bin/remove destroy, Phorge should probably restore its parent project as such, so, restoring project.hasSubprojects if that is semantically true again.
