      Hi and thank you again for this great plugin!

      We are using the "Basic Branch Build Strategies Plugin" to configure which branches to automatically build on changes. I think this is a core plugin by now, but I am not completely sure about that.

      As you can see from the screenshot attached, there is a build strategy called "Skip initial build on first branch indexing" that is very important for us. We have a whole lot of Branches and Tags and it really hurts the jenkins when all of these clog the build queue when first importing Gitlab projects using your fine plugin.

      Unfortunately it seems like "Gitlab-Branch-Source" plugin doesn't honor the setting "Skip initial build on first branch indexing". Every time the plugin finds a new gitlab project, the build queue immediately fills up with hundreds of branches and tags.
