Merge branch 'improve_rake_import_doc' into 'master'
Improve import Documentation
Improved the documentation steps for importing bare git repositories to GitLab.
@dzaporozhets I added a step to create gitlab-satellites. Is this step really necessary, or do the satellites get created as needed?
See merge request !1234
