Seriously, we evaluated it, what, two months ago, and it was missing some features. I check now, and it has the missing features and then some. I wonder if we were just evaluating Community edition and it didn't have merge requests or something... I am super impressed with Gitlab, though. I am moving projects there right now.

That's great to hear. Let us know if you need any help moving or get stuck somewhere.

Will do, I'm going to push for us to switch to you guys. What's currently our biggest hurdle is this issue:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/989

Which makes a label system really hard to use (it's basically half-implemented without that feature).

And a cosmetic feature request I filed:

The Community Edition also has merge requests and all the major and essential features. For the feature differences please see https://about.gitlab.com/features/#compare

Yep, I saw that page after I commented. Looks fantastic, I'm loving the super easy CI integration.

Awesome, great to hear.

Multi-label filter is coming this friday to GitLab 8.7!

The other issue will also be solved in a future release, I'll reply in detail there.

At the time, the comments page was filled with venting about existing DO customers getting the $10 shaft.

Maybe when replying to a comment, you should stick to the reply button. :P

What about replying to multiple ones... or all of them?

Kind of off-topic, but the work GitLab is putting in and the things they come up with every other day is crazily impressive. We moved from Github to GitLab sometime ago and we believed that to be a trade-off for moving to our own infrastructure. It always seemed like GitLab wasn't "quite there". Today, however it is a whole different story. We pretty much cannot go back to Github at all because of how well-integrated…

Thanks. That's really great to hear! Although we still have ways to go, we recently made large strides in terms of performance and UX. Two areas we know we were lacking in, in the past. I'd love to hear what we can improve further.

Just my 2 cents, but how gitlab has constantly improved over all other features, I would really love to see issues get the same treatment. The current issues system is simple, easy to use and works fine but we really didn't find it to be scalable when moving to bigger teams. Labels as a primitive method of categorization is fine, but it very soon becomes unmanageable. Getting to a feature set like JIRA is too much to ask I guess, but a middle ground would really help keep everything in gitlab.

If they have German customers, they are bound to German laws because they are doing business in Germany. Sure it will not apply to American DO customers, but if they to have German customers, they are bound by their local laws and those laws apply to protect citizens of that nation.

>If they have German customers, they are bound to German laws because they are doing business in Germany. that is simply not true... Now for DO it might be because they have EU possibly even German Data centers but simply because a Citizen of Germany visits a web site and signs up for a online service does not automatically make german laws apply to that business. Now it possible you could sue in Germany, the America…

They could just instruct banks to sending payments to DO. I don't think DO would want to lose all German start ups and customers because of a few stupid coupons.

Germany probably could not stop people from visiting their website, but stop payments would be just as worse for DO.

Are you saying this because you are extrapolating from American law regarding whether a company has a 'nexus' within a given state, or perhaps thinking about taxation? In those specific cases,…

I am not extrapolating from American tax law at all

I as an American citizen am in no way bound by German law

For example If I put a website selling digital Nazi Merchandise, and a german citizen buys it, I am in no way violating the German ban on those things because I am not bound by german law, any attempt to enforce germen law upon me would quickly be squashed by American Courts as a violation of my free speech

Now Germany can forbid it citzens from going to my site, it can attempt to have that site blocked from Germany, it can even prevent other german businesses from doing being with me (including credit card company as your example) but it can never compel me directly as I am not under their authority at all
