Release notes
Problem to solve
It is currently possible to import repositories greater than the maximum repository limit using the Import project by URL option where the repository has LFS files causing the overage.
After import the repo is immediatley in a read only state and users are unable to follow the Reduce repository size instructions as pushes are rejected.
The user can not remedy the issue other than deleting the project.
Steps to reproduce
- Push a 12GB repo 12 x 1GB LFS files to a self managed instance
- Import the project from the self managed instance using the URL option
- Select New project.
- Select Repository by URL.
- Enter a Git repository URL & complete the remaining fields
- Select Create project.
Proposal
GitLab should should check whether the repository exceeds the maximum repository size limit is reached and fail gracefully before the repository is placed into read only mode.
