Installing GitLab clobbers existing user
Created by: ctag
I have a remote server with existing private git projects on it, managed by the user git. I'd also like to have separate git projects for a different organization hosted on GitLab.
After installing GitLab from the download page's instructions, I found that it had hijacked my user and made connecting to this remote with existing projects inoperable.
Perhaps include a message during install when the system is about to modify an existing user rather than create a new one? Or if there is a warning, maybe make it more salient.
