I must say that I have similar feelings.
No matter ...
I have related question: in SVN was possible to checkout specific 
sub-directory (for example if I am interested in fcl-db package only I 
checkedout only this sub-directory).
Is it possible with gitlab? Or I must clone whole 
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source ?
Thanks ...
