Converting a gitlab export to simple git repo

• Initial credit to https://gist.github.com/maxivak/513191447d15c4d30953006d99928658

Gitlab exports a tar.gz file which contains a file called project.bundle. We can convert this file into a normal git repo using the following steps:

Extract the project.bundle file

$ tar xvfz GitLabExport.gz
