Restore backup of empty group does not create the group directory within repositories on local disk
When restoring gitlab from a backup which contains an empty group, the group details and members are correctly created, however it does not create the directory on the server for any repositories to be created. The end result is that an error is displayed to the user saying Fork Error...Failed to fork repository.
After creating the directory manually on the server within the repositories directory everything continued to work, but really the directory should have been created from the restored backup.
Looking at the code, the backups are generated based on projects only, groups are not considered.
