            1) Adjust Subversion to Git branches mapping if necessary:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/config
            2) Define at least one Subversion credentials in default SubGit passwd file at:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/passwd
               OR configure SSH or SSL credentials in the [auth] section of:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/config
            3) Optionally, add custom authors mapping to the authors.txt file(s) at:
                /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/user/project.git/subgit/authors.txt
            4) Run SubGit 'install' command:
                subgit install ./project.git
