## Choosing git forge to host source-git repositories
We need to find a home for all the source-git repositories. This is
actually a really hard task because we have many options (github.com,
gitlab.com, pagure.io, src.fedoraproject.org, something custom or
on-premise) and different expectations: some projects already have
repos set up on different platforms while Pagure is the primary forge
now. Since the CPE team is investigating GitLab as a forge, it's even
harder for us to figure out the primary forge. We may end up
supporting both actually: pagure.io and gitlab.com. What are your
thoughts on this topic? Would you prefer pagure.io or gitlab.com

Indirectly related:
my scm-sourced COPR projects often pull from git repos (upstream @ Fedora src projects), and use forgemeta macros in rpm config.
ime, forgemeta had lots of issues in the past with gitlab source matching when pulling specific tags/commits, requiring customized source strings -- usually after a bunch of trial-n-error.
github & pagure had no such problems.
to work around the challenges, I 1st mirrored gitlab repos to pagure, then pulled from there in my COPR specs, originally specifying commits/tags.
I haven't revisited gitlab for a fairly long while to check again.
Neither have I tested forgemeta's newer support for packaging a branch state
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/SourceURL/#_branch_example
which is now available, stable & terribly convenient -- for github & pagure.
TL;DR in this particular case: as long as it plays nicely with COPR forgemeta source-reference macros, no preference
