No, it's not currently supported to create subgroups in Gitlab.  (Note that this is also not supported in most other Git hosting sites that I know of, including Github, Bitbucket, and Gitorious.)

On my server, our workaround is to use dots in the name, for example "group1.group2".



You could suggest the feature, but I doubt that it will go anywhere unless you sponsor it or find someone to implement it.

Can Subgroups be created in Gitlab?
My client is on an old server running PHP 5.2.17, should I encourage him to upgrade to 5.3 or will it be ok?
