Importing an exported project fails with "wrong argument type nil"
Importing a project from CE to GitLab.com fails with `"wrong argument type nil"` and no other explanation.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Export an existing projects (Settings -> Export project) and download the *.tar.gz
1. Create a new project on another server and choose "Import project from: GitLab export"
1. Choose the previously downloaded *.tar.gz and click on "Import project"
### Example Project
Private project accessible through internal google drive.
### What is the current _bug_ behavior?
After clicking on "Import project", the following error appears:
```
The repository could not be imported.
Error importing repository into <PROJECTPATH> - wrong argument type nil
```
### What is the expected _correct_ behavior?
The project is imported successfully and contains all data as at the time the export was created.
