Acronimous user name page and repo

I have a username with a dot (".") in the middle... so, last today I add a new repo to my account at gitlab.com and forgot to use the dot. It did commit with success message!

So, when accessing the repo I created I could not see the files neither the commit.... it was a little bit scary because my first thought it went to someone's else, but in fact I had access to it when removing the dot from my user name url...

Here it is, example, my account is some like http://gitlab.com/user.name

I created the test repo at: http://gitlab.com/user.name/test.git

Commited to git@gitlab.com/username/test.git

...

after a couple seconds I notice my mistake and accessed http://gitlab.com/username as it shows as Acronimous page...

Is this the expected result?

I can have two different repos:

  1. gitlab.com/user.name/test.git
  2. gitlab.com/username/test.git

Is this right?

Thanks for the reply!
