Cannot fetch gilab updates using wget/apt-mirror

Hi,

Giltab repo uses amazon redirects that block updates retrieval using wget, i.e.:

$ wget -N 'https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/debian/dists/jessie/InRelease'

$ touch -t 200101010000 InRelease

$ wget -N 'https://packages.gitlab.com/gitlab/gitlab-ce/debian/dists/jessie/InRelease'

This disallows one to use apt-mirror for example to fetch updates from gitlab repo. Please consider providing more standard solution (without one time URLs).
