Stop creating destination repository for ReplicateRepository
What does this MR do?
Noticed while investigating gitaly#2837 (closed)
ReplicateRepository actually creates the destination repository for us if it does not exist. When it does, it uses a more efficient snapshot transfer instead of only a git fetch
.
As of gitaly!2320 (merged) relying on ReplicateRepository
to create a repository using GetSnapshot
should result in a consistent repository.
Manual Testing
Assuming we have gitaly setup with a second storage called second
stored in ~/Downloads/second/
.
Check where the project is currently stored:
$ curl -H "PRIVATE_TOKEN: XXXX" http://localhost:3000/api/v4/projects/23
{"id":23, ... "repository_storage":"default", ...}
Make sure the second storage has nothing in it:
rm -rf ~/Downloads/second/*
Initiate the move:
$ curl -X PUT -H "PRIVATE_TOKEN: XXXX" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"repository_storage":"second"}' http://localhost:3000/api/v4/projects/23
{"id":23, ...}
Wait for the transfer to happen:
$ curl -H "PRIVATE_TOKEN: XXXX" http://localhost:3000/api/v4/projects/23
{"id":23, ... "repository_storage":"second", ...}
Double check everything was created in the storage dir:
$ ls ~/Downloads/second/
