Proposal
For customers with teams using perforce, lack of a mirroring solution can pose a barrier to adoption. Some cross-functional teams have downstream users that depend on their output being made available in perforce, but would like to adopt GitLab for it's workflow benefits and modern tooling.
With the end of life of Git Fusion from Perforce, there is currently no (or few) actively sold or supported solutions in the marketplace.
One customer with approximately 7,000 seats has stated their interest in mirroring; first and foremost a git-to-p4 direction, although both directions and bi-directionally were also of interest. This customer has built a custom mirroring solution around gitlab CI, using a shell runner and perl scripts to perform custom mirroring of commits from select git branches to p4 changelists.
Further detail is available in the linked but internal-only customer-collab-project issue.
