The script can be helpful outside of CI, in particular for gradually
transitioning to the new style.
Reverting commit f00201fa6c
it is already possible to do something
like
$ CI_MERGE_REQUEST_PROJECT_URL=https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell \
CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_NAME=master CI_COMMIT_SHA=HEAD \
.gitlab-ci/run-eslint.sh
but that is hardly convenient.
Instead, allow passing the required parameters on the command line:
$ .gitlab-ci/run-eslint.sh origin master
