I agree. This is the only port that is trying to install something to /home or
/usr/home. I'm working over in Bug 226610 to make Poudriere lockdown the base
system from being written to and had to exempt this directory for this 1 port.
It would be better if this were using something like /var/db/gitlab or anything
not in the homedir.
