[Battlemesh] massive moving from github to gitlab?

[Mitar]

Hi!

I am using GitLab (and gitlab.com) for a year now and I must say I am
really impressed. Its integrated CI is way better than any combination
of GitHub + Travis CI or CircleCI. Just smooth. I have also had to
migrate from a private GitLab to gitlab.com and it really feels great
that you can do export/import of whole project. You just own data.

I am missing only:

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013

Fun:
