 Replying to [comment:3 catalyst]:
 > I'm experimenting with a scheduled mirroring job at
 https://oniongit.eu/catalyst/tor-mirror-test/tree/mirrortest on oniongit
 that runs every 30 minutes.  It's more parameterized, even though some
 (safe) parameters are set in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for now.
 This is now in my regular oniongit repository at
 https://oniongit.eu/catalyst/tor/tree/mirrortest

 I was wondering if this is needed if we're able to do the mirroring from a
 hook in the git.torproject.org repository, but then I realized it could be
 helpful for developers' personal forks on oniongit as well.  Also we could
 have git.tpo trigger this pipeline with a webhook, which would allow us to
 more easily adjust the mirroring script instead of having to edit the
 hooks on the server each time.

 (Also I'm a little confused by the original Milestone and Version values;
 as far as I can tell `.gitlab-ci.yml` first appeared in 0.3.2.2-alpha, but
 maybe I missed something?)
