Bryan,

How will this affect diffusion repositories that are already configured to 
mirror a remote repository?  For example, 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/tool-xtools/ 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/tool-xtools/> mirrors GitHub, which 
means there is no need for anything to be moved to GitLab.
