You are right, they added CI_MERGE_REQUEST_SOURCE_BRANCH_NAME in 11.6
(we started our CI a while ago). But there is even better now, ou can
do:

  only:
    refs:
      - merge_requests

Thanks for the hint, I'll suggest that. I've lookup some of the backend
of mesa, I think it's really nice, though there is a lot of concept
that won't work in a multi-repo CI. Again, I need to refresh on what
was moved from the enterprise to the community version in this regard,
