You propose GitLab syncing between on-premises installations and GitLab.com. Sync is pretty hard. What we currently plan to do is import/export https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3050 We are thinking about distributed code reviews and issues https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4084 and federated merge requests https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4013

The problem with git is that it's decentralized but has no model for automatic consistency. Which means we've basically ignored the issue in tooling.

That said we probably don't need to solve it - we just need a way to keep read remotes online that's separate from any one server. The DHT git project was a good move in the right direction.
