Are you OK with robots doing git checkouts?

[Zoe Clifford]

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.
