Any ideas of supporting Mercurial, too?

#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
Is there anything we can do from our side? We're very interested in making it easier to integrate with GitLab, but also happy to invest some time into making existing integrations easier to set up. Our hope is that with time, it'll become obvious that when developing an application, you integrate with GitLab as well as with BB and GH.

Great, thanks.
For the upcoming release (8.11, August 22nd), we're adding deploy keys with push permissions [0]. This would allow you to basically do the same thing.
That said, that doesn't make it very clear that you can use these for this purpose, so I've added a note to re-evaluate these.
We're also expanding OAuth scopes, potentially making it easier / more attractive to integrate [1].

#13Working for a 15-year old small software company, I converted a whole bunch of ancient CVS stuff (yeah, yeah, don't laugh unless you also have 15 years of profitability) to GitLab CE. After a couple of false starts it went flawlessly and now works flawlessly. (I used the tigris.org migration tools). The GitLab team is doing a great job. Thanks you guys.
Thanks Oliver, that's great to hear.
Any way we can prevent those false starts for other people?

#17Gitlab users: How many hours per year do you spend on doing maintenance for your setup? (servers, updating, backups, troubleshooting, etc.)

#18I recently moved my personal project from GitHub to GitLab and the whole process took me less than a minute, with a simple git remote set-url on the client side.
The future is amazing.

#19As always, we're happy to answer any questions about GitLab.
Why doesn't LFS support SSH authentication? It has been requested numerous times and has missed numerous milestones. I'm still not convinced it will hit 8.11. We desperately need LFS support, but we use one time tokens, so LFS Authentication over HTTPS just won't work for us. We are an EE customer and this future is way more useful than a UI redesign! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3589
We're planning to do this as soon as possible. I agree that it has taken a long time. We simply did not have the capacity with the people that are able to work on this, to build it earlier.
We now have strengthened the team that works on these issues. I'm seeing whether it's possible to ship this with 8.12 (due Sept 22nd).
