For anyone still interested in using the pine64 for version control or local/private git repository hosting in a non-sucky way... I finally found a solution. I finally got around to playing with gitlab again yesterday, and got nowhere fast (and one of the other chaps who what gotten it working had gone off ARM SoC boards entirely... so that wasn't a good sign!). I had a look around for other options, and only found yucky looking interfaces like GitWeb and cgit, which appear to be only HTML views of existing repos anyway, and not allowing you to create and manage repos through their interface.
I was ready to give up for now, and resort to having to log in to create new repos, and work from file shares... and then came across Gogs... which looked very promising for two reasons "painless self-hosted Git service" and it is designed to run using "independent binary distribution across ALL platforms that Go supports"... linux being one of them. An hour of fiddling later... and I had a very polished looking git-hub like git repo management system running. Performance is good on the 1GB pine64, and everything seems to be working smoothly.
For anyone else that wants to get it running, I recommend you go read Ricardo's post on getting it set up... I found it when I was half-way through the compile process... and since he was using a pine64 also... I knew there was light at the end of the tunnel. I'm using a full blown MySQL database since I have that running anyway, and didn't bother doing the nginx reverse proxy, but followed most of the other steps. Also note that his site is running on a pine64...
