Release notes
Problem to solve
Enable the possibility to change the maximum number of includes limit also in Gitlab.com, as it was done for self-managed here.
In a specific project hosted in Gitlab.com, I will soon hit the include pipeline limit of 150. In this project, we manage python packages for which we have a common pipeline that we always include. This pipeline includes two templates for quality checks and tests that are common for the whole company. So for each package, we have to do 3 includes, which means that we will soon hit the limit of 150 includes, as we almost have 50 packages.
The only solution I foresee now is to split packages into multiple repos, but this would be a lot of copy and paste for us, so I would rather keep the monorepo and increase the maximum include limit.
Proposal
Add an application setting for Gitlab.com that allows them to have more than 150 includes. There is already a proposal here mentioning that after having delivered that for self-hosted it would also be done for Gitlab.com
