Add git-filter-repo
What does this MR do?
Gitaly is in the process of adding the ability to rewrite repository
history. To do this, we will use git-filter-repo
, built by a
prominent contributor to the Git project. The script becomes available
as a Git subcommand when it is placed in $PATH.
Install the script to /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin
and add patches for all
three of its license files.
