Repo import 4.1 fix (empty repositories)

Created by: escaped

Fix for #2830 (closed) Includes fix from #2695

Import all repos to global namespace, otherwise the new generated repositories are empty!

Created by: scross01

I applied the fix to import to the global namespace, but also found that the import is creating a new (empty) git repository with different capitalization and replacing special characters. e.g.

cp -R My.Project.git /home/git/repositories
cd /home/git/gitlab
bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production

After import the new (empty) repository is called /home/git/repositories/my-project.git

Replacing the new repository with the original resolves the problem

cd /home/git/repositories
rm -Rf my-project.git
mv My.Project.git my-project.git

Or alternatively, copy the original into the repositories folder with the appropriate naming format before running the import

cp -R My.Project.git /home/git/repositories/my-project.git
cd /home/git/gitlab
bundle exec rake gitlab:import:repos RAILS_ENV=production
