We use it here at Norse on FreeBSD. Had some issues with earlier versions. Our current deploy had some issues with process limits and timeouts associated with the gargantuan size of the FreeBSD ports and src repos. We were able to fix this by increasing a bunch of timeouts. I can ask our ops lead about it to get some information. Another option we explored but in the end decided against, was to use a shallow git clone of FreeBSD src and ports. I did some experimentation and I believe it would have worked, however it was safer for us to just bump up the limits on memory, cpu times and "rails processes" to absurd levels to cope with the large repos. I'm really looking forward to the day when FreeBSD finally splits kernel and userland and probably decides to throw away most of the ports history outside of ports/Mk, it would be HUGELY helpful for people trying to use FreeBSD as a code base to not have to clone/manage history that is so seldom useful in any shape or form. In fact, it would be a good way to shut me up, because at this point if you trimmed off everything past 5-6 years nearly all of my commits would be wiped out and I wouldn't have a solid history with the project to point at when people argue with me. ;) > > Gitlab looks like a nice front-end for Git, > and seems to be quite comparable to Github in terms of features.
