Have you contacted GitLab support about this? They're usually quite responsive. Eigen is a project with quite some weight behind it, it may not be unlikely that they can do something.

I am one of the users of the current github mirror, and yes, as I understand it option 3 isn’t really an option because of the re-written history. I see no point in it.

I think option (1) is best. I look forward to swapping over to the gitlab mirror.
