Delete and create project with same name via API does not remove files

Created by: jpiulac

Using API v3 via curl to:

  1. delete existing project
  2. create project (using the same name)

Fails to create a new empty project and instead creates a project containing the files from previously deleted project.

I was doing this under a group/namespace and have not tested using default (user) namespace.

steps to reproduce: curl -X DELETE http://gitlabserver.com/api/v3/projects/:id?private_token=:token curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" http://gitlabserver.com/api/v3/projects?private_token=:token -d "{ "name": "$1", "namespace_id": "$2" }"
