-To configure repository cgroups in Gitaly using the legacy method, use the following settings
-in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
-
-- `cgroups_count` is the number of cgroups created. Each time a new
-  command is spawned, Gitaly assigns it to one of these cgroups based
-  on the command line arguments of the command. A circular hashing algorithm assigns
-  commands to these cgroups.
-- `cgroups_mountpoint` is where the parent cgroup directory is mounted. Defaults to `/sys/fs/cgroup`.
-- `cgroups_hierarchy_root` is the parent cgroup under which Gitaly creates groups, and
-  is expected to be owned by the user and group Gitaly runs as. A Linux package installation
-  creates the set of directories `mountpoint/<cpu|memory>/hierarchy_root`
-  when Gitaly starts.
-- `cgroups_memory_enabled` enables or disables the memory limit on cgroups.
-- `cgroups_memory_bytes` is the total memory limit each cgroup imposes on the processes added to it.
-- `cgroups_cpu_enabled` enables or disables the CPU limit on cgroups.
-- `cgroups_cpu_shares` is the CPU limit each cgroup imposes on the processes added to it. The maximum is 1024 shares,
-  which represents 100% of CPU.
