Gitorious import results in 500 error after authentication callback

Does this happen all the time or only when GitLab.com is busy?

I was looking into this, but it looks like I need a Gitorious account, and the site has been changed to read-only mode. Anyone want to lend me a test Gitorious account? You can direct e-mail me at stanhu at gmail.com.

@stanhu You don't actually need an account, all Gitorious does is redirect to http://gitlab.com/import/gitorious/callback?repos=gitorious/mainline,test/123,other/repo. You can go there on your local gitlab instance and see the 500 error for yourself.

I tried it myself, and I was actually not getting the error.

I found the error though, but I hadn't seen it before because development and production behave differently with regard to class loading and the order thereof.

Fix is here: !576 (merged).
