I'm in the process of migrating from gitolite to gitlab.

My original repositories had urls like: git@dev.example.com:project-gui and git@dev.example.com:project-libs.

Gitlab has forced me to use urls like: git@dev.example.com:project/gui and git@dev.example.com:project/libs.

I don't want to force changes in documentation and remote url in existing clones.

Is there a way I can either allow top-level repos, a proxy or perhaps URL redirection for these repos?

We ended up solving this by using the git user account on that server to host read-only repositories the mirrored the gitlab ones.

We then used the gitlab user for running gitlab.
