First off, my heartfelt commiserations for the GitLab team here. My suggestion: Start watching an hour-long video; the rsync will finish right when it gets to the good part! I wonder if a future project might be to have the DB-stored stuff use Git as a replication back-end. Like, for example, having each issue be a directory, and individual comments be JSON files. It would never (normally) be the data store "of record" (the DB would), but maybe that would work as a backup?
