Project import rake task on Omnibus, plus errors

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge docs-bprescott-prjimport-20200608 into master

What does this MR do?

When self-managed customers have issues with large projects failing to import, we've directed them to a ruby script that was used for GitLab.com

This has now been deprecated in favor of a rake task.

I had some difficulty getting the task to work, but having now decoded the errors and worked out how to call it on Omnibus installs, here's a doc update.

I've got three import related MRs open:

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
