(cited from /opt/gitlab/gitlab/doc/install/installation.md)
Currently GitLab requires Git version >= 2.31.0 but the stable version in the portage tree still is dev-vcs/git-2.26.3.
The www-apps/gitlab ebuild has the "gitaly_git" USE flag to select which Git to use. Up to now this USE flag is off by default and /usr/bin/git from dev-vcs/git is used.
With the next updates this will be changed to "on by default", i.e. the Git provided by Gitaly will be installed into
You may then remove the package.accept_keywords and package.use settings required by GitLab and downgrade dev-vcs/git to the stable version 2.26.3.

Gitaly](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/issues/2729)
that:
- Is always at the version required by GitLab.
- May contain custom patches required for proper operation.
