Github import fails for `.emacs.d` (even with local rename)
Summary
Import project from GitHub fails when github repo name starts with a .
(dot).
Steps to reproduce
Create a repo on github.com named .emacs.d
. Try to import it to gitlab.com. Be sure to change the gitlab.com project name to emacs.d
, since we know gitlab.com repos must start with a letter, a digit, an emoji, or an underscore.
Now, rename the github project to emacs.d
. Import succeeds. (Well, it says "Import in progress", which is better than it said before I renamed it and tried again.)
Output of checks
This bug happens on GitLab.com
