Hi, I'm rooting for Gitlab. Love your product, team, and particularly the way you all communicate with your customers.

But the root problem may be that the name "Gitlab" does not convey "Full Devops Solution". "Gitlab" the name is memorable, easy-to-spell, but having "Git" as a prefix might make it just a hair too narrow for what the product wants to be.

I am a sample size of one, so unless others have also been confused by the name, please feel free to keep on trucking.

Isn't the main feature still Git-hosting? I think the name is fine.
