Provide access to the on-disk representation of `gitlab-org/gitlab` and its object pool

In order to perform local performance benchmarks I need an exact snapshot of gitlab-org/gitlab and its pool repository.

SRE Support Needed

  • The repository is hosted on file-cny-01-stor-gprd.
  • It is located at /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/@hashed/a6/80/a68072e80f075e89bc74a300101a9e71e8363bdb542182580162553462480a52.git.
  • Its pool is located at /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/@pools/b4/3e/b43ef5538f2e6167fdc8852badbe497b50d4cfd4ed7e1b033068f1a296ee57d2.git.
  • Required output: cd /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories && tar -cf gitlab-org-gitlab.tar @hashed/a6/80/a68072e80f075e89bc74a300101a9e71e8363bdb542182580162553462480a52.git @pools/b4/3e/b43ef5538f2e6167fdc8852badbe497b50d4cfd4ed7e1b033068f1a296ee57d2.git

Note that the repository and its pool repository will likely be huge. Storing the resulting archive on disk has the potential to run out of disk space.
