The previous way was put under the
"By modifying `.git/config` for a given repository" section. The
disadvantage is that one has to modify `.git/config` for each repository
that one uses. The new way was put under the "By adding a git alias"
section. One has to create this git alias once, and then it will work
from any repository, without having to modify `.git/config` over and
over again.

Fix empty dropdown

Deselecting the current selected option on a dropdown they were removing the input related to them.
This led to a unexpected cases. The forms were submitted without all required inputs and the label was still indicating an option was selected. This MR fixes that.

See merge request !5927

Before this the dropdowns were not being disabled if the user unselected an option from the allowed to merge/push dropdowns.

No need to update the branch permission if no option is marked on the dropdown

This makes dropdown to look according the dropdowns on the edit form. This options add a tick mark next to the selected option.
