solid, but can be subject to odd UI changes between versions. There is a
bit of lock-in in that 'git log' will often refer you to look up a merge
request in Gitlab to get access to more detail that the just the MR subject

access to.

My only issue with the CI, compared to travis-ci, is that it's harder to
set up a build matrix (eg, against multiple versions of OSes) that it is in
travis.
