Hi,

thanks for clarifying! It's a pity that GitLab simply doesn't scale
enough for our big repository. But at least they confirmed the issue and
did some tests, so let's hope this will be fixed in a future version :)

Is it right that when the cgit instance is gone, there be will be no
local HTTP mirror for these repositories anymore? I think it would be a
pity to point all users to GitHub.com, as we would rely on a commercial
software with a doubtful privacy policy then. Is it possible to find a
solution for that?

Thanks a lot for all your efforts,

LuKaRo
