Hi,

Using Gitlab CI/CD for external projects is broken from design and does not work as advertised. Mirroring a repo works only till the repo doesn't diverge from the upstream, but to actually use the gitlab CI, we need to create .gitlab-ci.yml file and commit that into the repo rendering the repo unable to sync with the upstream, hence defeating the purpose of having a mirrored repo.
