Description

The easiest way to support the new port is probably just to have a new branch name like v2-main be the default branch for the Port - at least until we've gotten near-100% compatibility (if that's possible) and/or implemented meltano lock to help users freeze their pip references at something other than the repo's default branch ref.

I'm also open to the option of just creating a different repo like tap-gitlab-sdk. The advantage of that approach would be to still have a sensible default branch on both repos, and avoid related confusion. The disadvantage of this approach is that it'll be harder to re-merge these repos if/when we finally deprecate the legacy version of the tap.
