A Git repository (the thing you clone to your computer into .git in your
working dir) always contains all states ever. Therefor it is way bigger
than a SVN checkout (which does only a small excerpt of the real
repository on the server).

That is the concept of Git and why it is so fast. You have the whole
thing on your own computer. You can always checkout every state, every
branch into your working dir without the need of a server!

And so everybody's computer is a backup. If Gitlab goes away it doesn't
really matter, because everybody of us has the repo as backup.

For people who just want to fetch a special branch (maybe "stable") from
Gitlab there are commands which do that.

But please do not think about dividing the current repository into
smaller pieces as long as there is no concrete understanding of the Git
concept at all.


Alles Gute
