fix(commitlint): behave gracefully if no common ancestor commit is found
In #83 (closed) it was highlighted that commitlint did not behave gracefully for
MRs which do not branch from the current tip of the default branch. This
was because, ultimately, git merge-base --fork-point exited with a
non-zero exit code which caused the job to fail.
Gracefully handle this case by catching the exit status and falling back to checking all of the commit history.
Additionally, while git merge-base does appear to match the algorithm
used by GitLab itself the use of --fork-point fails if the branch
was not branched from the tip of default branch. Removing --fork-point
better matches the algorithm used by GitLab itself.
Tested by making a trivial branch off an older commit and reproduced the reported commitlint behaviour (job log). Using the job from !124 (merged) fixes the issue (job log).
Closes #83 (closed)
