As a user, it doesn't look nice to hear this from the developers. I think it would be nice to have a stable upgrade mechanism that doesn't break anything for people - or maybe an automated mechanism that does all the upgrades step by step so the user doesn't have to do much. Since I have seen this 'upgrade' problem repeatedly mentioned here, I think it would be a good problem to attack to help people feel more comfortable about using your product. I recently set up gitolite internally and this thread interests me because GitLab looks like something that could be considered for Git hosting. However, someone in my place may not be so comfortable with the idea when I get the general feeling that "upgrades are a pain". I only mean this as feedback to help you make your product more palatable (because I want to see a lot of good Git hosting solutions!)
