GitLab

I have a running version 4.1 on one server. Now I set up gitlab version 4.1 on another server and wanted to restore a backup done on the 1st server. However, it fails with this error :

projects ... done
schema_migrations ... done
users_projects ... done
merge_requests ... done
Restoring repositories ... 
project/project1 ... [DONE]
project/project2 ... rake aborted!

What's interesting is this: As you can see above, it did restore project/project1. But only because I manually created that directory with following user/group and access rights :

drwsrws--- 7 git git 4096 2013-02-23 13:08 /home/git/repositories/project/project1.git

Before that manual mkdir it the restore already failed on project1. So, I would expect from a restore that it will actually restore a repository if not found in the filesystem, right ?
