Import doesn't work (HTTP Error 410: Gone)

[jeevatkm]

Import issues is not working when source and target repo name is similar on forked repo. Throws an error.

For example:
Source: xxxxxx/SampleRepo
Target: yyyyyy/SampleRepo

Error Log:

@IQAndreas - Reslove it by enabling Issues setting in Forked Repo.

Steps I followed:

• Go to the Settings page of your forked repo
• Check the box next to Issues

Then executed your script :) Issues import successful.

Cheers,
