As long as there are still incoming links to the domain, I think it's hard to make Google reset it's page rank permanently. You could do a HTTP 301 permanent redirect and use Google Webmaster Tools to make Google point to the new GitLab site, but a squatter can always revert these changes so it will never be 100% effective.

But if the incoming links are all 404, wont google eventually lower my pagerank?
