Importing Existing Repositories Creates "Empty" Repos in Gitlab
Created by: strobe33333
I've been running 5.4 for a long time and decided it was high time to get up to latest stable. After a successful installation (of 7.5 stable,) I copied my repositories into my /home/git/repositories directory, replicating the structure that was present in 5.4.
I then ran sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production which also reported to run successfully
I can see the repos under the appropriate namespace, but all of the projects show up as 0MB and display the screen that indicates they are new unused projects. I double checked the filesystem and they all consume varying amounts of space, so they are not empty on disk.
I did some googling and it seems this was an issue back during the 5.x time-frame, but I never saw a solution. I'm completely open to the possibility that I'm doing it wrong, so if anyone has guidance I would be very appreciative.
Thanks
