[sword-devel] GitLab + a patch

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Hi Greg,

You can try again. We've had a pretty huge bump in crawlers/scrapers: 
1,290,483 requests from 210,655 unique IPs over two days and it was 
affecting availability.  I'll try to something about that now, but I've 
unstuck things from the overload and things seem to be running again.

I've pushed your patch, I believe (I hope it went through when things we 
sketched yesterday).  I have a bunch of stuff locally still almost ready 
to push which I hope to finish today or tomorrow and then I'll pull and 
push again and be sure everything is in sync, in case you don't see your 
patch applied yet.  Thank you!

Troy
