C extensions because something you wanted wasn't in go? Are you using cgo to build?

I wonder how many lines of code they ended up with afterward, although admittedly lines of code is a pretty silly metric. I think it is useful in orders of magnitude when describin…

It's cool, and this is a nearly useless comment, but the logo looks to much like an alien out of a Whitley Strieber "non-fiction" story. A little creepy I'm saying. Gitlab needs so…
