Rundown here

• I had a 409 Conflict that was caused by tags. GitLab normally fetches, it does not clone. Switching to clone resolved this and removed tags were purged.
• In troubleshooting that 409 Conflict I enabled --debug. I could then see a "remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied
  fatal: Authentication failed".
• In troubleshooting that spurious error message, I created an image so GL and local dev environment would have the same environment. I pulled the image down locally and ran docker with an env-file. I forgot that docker env-files do not use quotes. env-file has quoting problems docker/for-linux#1208 This gave me a legitamite access denied error in the container because the token was quoted, GITLAB_TOKEN="whatever" rather than GITLAB_TOKEN=whatever
• I hacked the semantic-release/* stuff in order to disable the detail hiding mechanisms because there is no feature for that: FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to not hide sensitive information. semantic-release/semantic-release#2050
• This allowed me identify the above quote marks that were wrapping the token from my env file. I opened up an issue to warn on these FEATURE REQUEST: Die on all use of tokens within single- or double- quotes. semantic-release/semantic-release#2051
• This allowed me to get back to the Access denied error. I troubleshooted that and I believe it's just a result of bad upstream code (which tries and fails different validation methods), and a confusing --debug implementation flag that dumps these attempts to the screen without telling the user it's normal. BUG: verifyAuth should not try SSH in the presence of a token in the environment; and should not call debug() semantic-release/semantic-release#2053
