dist-git still uses the lookaside for tarballs, which are downloaded from
kernel.org, signature verified, and uploaded independent of anything gitlab
is doing.  Development work happens on top of a tree at gitlab, which is
how our fedora specific patches, config options, and spec file are
maintained, but none of this is on kernel.org anyway.  The tree used as a
basis does use the kernel.org tree, but this is not much different from
cloning a tree anywhere else and doing development on top of it.
