## Limitations
1. Currently GitLab doesn't allow comments on arbitrary lines of code, so any
Bitbucket comments out of bounds are inserted as comments in the merge
request.
1. Bitbucket Server allows multiple levels of threading. GitLab import
collapses this into one thread and quote part of the original comment.
1. Declined pull requests have unreachable commits, which prevents the GitLab
importer from generating a proper diff. These pull requests show up as
empty changes.
1. Attachments in Markdown are currently not imported.
1. Task lists are not imported.
1. Emoji reactions are not imported
1. Project filtering does not support fuzzy search (only `starts with` or `full
match strings` are currently supported)
