It would be nice to see the branch that triggered the build on the cards on the front page

Can we add limit and sort params to http requests? (If not already there?)

[ekelen]

Add a mergerequest_list route (or sort/group query param)?

It could be for the API; since the whole feed is sorted by MR now in UI, a backend supporting this would eliminate some fragile data transforms in the front.

I guess an alternative is that this could just go in the URL bar on the front; at least it will clarify the organization for users (it's currently weird to ask limit=10 and get two visual blocks/cards, but with group_by=mergerequest it becomes clear).
