404s and new repo page when I blow away old git with new git repo.
Created by: mmlb
So I had a git repo pushed to a project, but I then wanted to have a completely different git repo with no history in common as that project's code. I didn't want to start a new project because of the issues and wiki (wiki would be easy to move over though).
So I set up the new repo and git push -f origin and that worked fine, but Files and Commits still served up the old data. So I git push -f --mirror origin and that got rid of everything.
The Home page of the project reverted to the new project page, but Files and Commits and other links 404 because they point to the previous repo's shas.
I was pretty sure my push -f's would be bad, but I wonder if something can be done here short term and if this is a bug that you guys would want to address.
