6.15.x testing, gitlab mirroring

Hi!

Greg pushed 6.12.35, but I can't see it being tested on gitlab:

https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-testing/linux-stable-rc-ci/-/tree/linux-6.12.y

6.12.34 is few days old.

On a related note, it would be nice to get 6.15.x testing going.

Thanks and best regards,
								Pavel

We had to change over to the Google Source mirror of linux-stable-rc a while back as kernel.org wasn't reliable enough.
For some reason the Google mirror is a bit behind for this branch [1].
Indeed it looks like it's behind for more than just this branch.

Recently(ish) the kernel.org repo hosting provider was changed, so maybe it's more reliable now, so we could switch back.
However, I got the impression that kernel.org was trying to reduce the bots and epic cloning going on from their servers, so maybe we should stick with adding the load to Google.
We also tried mirroring the linux-stable-rc repo in our GitLab project, but it was too big...

Support for this has now been added.

Kind regards, Chris
