500 Error when moving project to global namespace

Created by: mlavandero

Trying to move a project to the global namespace and getting a 500 error.

When checking the log we get this: Project::TransferError (Project test_2 cannot be moved from /home/git/repositories/root/test_2.git to /home/git/repositories/test_2.git): app/roles/namespaced_project.rb:27:in rescue in transfer' app/roles/namespaced_project.rb:3:intransfer' app/contexts/project_update_context.rb:11:in execute' app/controllers/admin/projects_controller.rb:28:inupdate'

I saw the same issue here...

$ tail -n /home/gitlab/gitlab/log/production.log shows me

Started PUT "/admin/projects/root/acr_test_harness_android" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-01-01 18:03:52 +0000
Processing by Admin::ProjectsController#update as HTML

Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 10ms

Project::TransferError (Destination /home/git/repositories/acr_test_harness_android.git already exists):
  app/roles/namespaced_project.rb:27:in `rescue in transfer'
  app/roles/namespaced_project.rb:3:in `transfer'
  app/contexts/project_update_context.rb:11:in `execute'
  app/controllers/admin/projects_controller.rb:28:in `update'

By prefixing that folder to something like /home/git/repositories/acr_test_harness_android_bak.git, I could then move the project back to the global namespace.

It appears yours is a different problem. You have 2 repos with the same name

Doesn't work here either, on a fresh install.

The project.git folder does not exists until there was at least one push to the project. so, the folder could not be moved.

This problem may also happen as a result of: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/1876

I just moved some projects to another namespace, how can i change all urls in the events page. They still link to the old url.
