Unable to restore from backup file
Summary
I encounter an issue while trying to restore GitLab from backup file. It is failing while restoring uploads.
It seems to be related to tar options "--unlink-first --recursive-unlink" passed in files.rb. Backup file of uploads directory includes ".". As options "--unlink-first --recursive-unlink" are used to extract the archive, it first try to remove recursively the directory ".".
My system :
- GitLab 10.8.0
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6
- tar (GNU tar) 1.23
Steps to reproduce
Backup GitLab (with or without repositories), then try to restore from backup file.
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
