Re: [GitLab] IMPORTANT: Mass migration plan

[Carlos Soriano <csoriano gnome org>]

Just a very quick thing, please don't rename projects :D

We have git management on disk, not only in GitLab. Not sure if our hooks would protect against that, but better to not test them for now...

Renaming in Gitlab is trivial: in the project settings you can just
rename the project, and Gitlab will set up redirections so that old
URLs keep working. (at least that happened on other Gitlab instances, I
see no reason why that wouldn't work on GNOME's)
