Feature Description

See git-cinnabar add-in command,
(or my mirror).

I use such a scheme manually,
so I can mirror mozilla's source code.

Here are rough commands I used during my clone:

alias g="git"
g clone git@base.assembled.app:dependencies/git-cinnabar

cd git-cinnabar/;
export PATH="$PATH:${PWD}"
make
cd ..

g cinnabar download # perhaps unnecessary, since you ran `make` earlier.
g cinnabar help
g clone hg://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central mozilla

Seems like this could go someplace around here:

Hello! I'm migrating my Gitea and am realizing that the Mozilla repo I cloned ages ago hasn't been able to keep up as a mirror, because I used a one-off git-cinnabar command instead of setting up real mirroring.

Can someone recommend an approach for combining git-cinnabar into the mirroring process?
