Message-ID: Hello Freedesktop, I was wondering if you would be OK with occasional automated traffic against your git servers (e.g. https://anongit.freedesktop.org/, or https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/). Specifically my company wants to use Google's Copybara (https://github.com/google/copybara) to check out a few freedesktop git repositories to avoid needing to remember to do manual git checkouts. I saw that your gitlab instance blocks robots via robots.txt, while anongit does not have a robots.txt file; so I thought I'd ask before hitting your anongit instance in case you didn't want robots using it at all, had any concerns, etc. My understanding is that the checkout would be incremental and only lead to reasonable load after the initial import. Thank you for your consideration. -- Best Regards, -Zoe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
