The dot character is getting replaced by hyphen as the project URL while creating new project

Created by: baijum

I tried to create a new project in 5.0.1 version of Gitlab. The project name was "test.ok" when the project got created, the project URL was automatically renamed to "test-ok". The repo URL also got changed to "test-ok.git".

The same things happens with spaces (e.g. 'test ok' becomes 'test-ok'), which I think is a good behavior. On the other hand, I could understand wanting to name projects with dots, but I'm not sure whether allowing names with dots would cause problems.

Does this still exist in 5.1?

I guess it does, as this is a bigger issue and I haven't seen commits related to it.

Is this something that will be fixed in 6.0? I've just tried migrating from gitolite where we have repos with dots in the name and the dots still get replaced by hyphens.

I have a 6.3pre installation, and I have to go through all projects to change the dash manually back to a dot.

I edit the project and change the repository path as described, and after saving, I have a git URL like

http://example.com/my.project.git

I am at the very beginning with gitlab, so I don't yet know if it negatively impacts anything.

Does it answer your question? I wish I could disable this conversion globally.

@muellert That answered my question. Thanks!

This was one of the feature I was looking for a long time.
