Bob Van Landuyt 589b2db06c Setup Phabricator import
This sets up all the basics for importing Phabricator tasks into
GitLab issues.

To import all tasks from a Phabricator instance into GitLab, we'll
import all of them into a new project that will have its repository
disabled.

The import is hooked into a regular ProjectImport setup, but similar
to the GitHub parallel importer takes care of all the imports itself.

In this iteration, we're importing each page of tasks in a separate
sidekiq job.

The first thing we do when requesting a new page of tasks is schedule
the next page to be imported. But to avoid deadlocks, we only allow a
single job per worker type to run at the same time.

For now we're only importing basic Issue information, this should be
extended to richer information.

Import Phabricator tasks into a GitLab project

Introduced in GitLab 12.0.

GitLab allows you to import all tasks from a Phabricator instance into GitLab issues. The import creates a single project with the repository disabled.

Currently, only the following basic fields are imported:

  • Title
  • Description
  • State (open or closed)
  • Created at
  • Closed at

Enabling this feature

While this feature is incomplete, a feature flag is required to enable it so that we can gain early feedback before releasing it for everyone. To enable it:

  1. Enable Phabricator as an import source in the Admin area.
Feature.enable(:phabricator_import)

The import source also needs to be activated by an admin in the admin interface.
