Why are we doing this work

During the review of the we have found that there are 2 Project's attributes that are not exported:

  • Git Large File Storage (LFS) (lfs_enabled in projects table) is an excluded attribute (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/299a70923035c69ea39674c1a8a0fe8f707d42e3/lib/gitlab/import_export/project/import_export.yml#L223)
  • Packages (packages_enabled in projects table) is also an excluded attribute (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/299a70923035c69ea39674c1a8a0fe8f707d42e3/lib/gitlab/import_export/project/import_export.yml#L245)

In this issue we want to investigate and decide if we should export/import them or ignore.
