They’d do what they are doing to android. Make it as unusable as possible without their proprietary crap.
Google is an advertising company. Something like 80% of their revenue comes from selling ads.
How would spending money on Gitlab support their primary business.
Google would buy it, pet it for 2 years and then take it out back and old-yeller it.
But not until after Google has used it to get every bit of personal data it has to get more dirt on you.
Buy it, give it a face-lift, add chat and then kill it, all within 2 years.
