[Workbench] Tell admins not to put hyphens in repository names
Added by Peter Amstutz over 9 years ago.

Description
Something removes dashes from repository names before creating the actual repository.
However, nobody told the API server that, which can result in a mismatch between the API server record (with dashes) and actual repository as managed by gitolite (without dashes).
The API server should validate the name to ensure that only valid repository names can be set.
Possibly related to #5192, as part of validation we may choose to disallow renaming one a name has been set.

The description says
"The API server should validate the name to ensure that only valid repository names can be set."
However the branch doesn't do that.
Alternately (if the story was de facto updated without updating the story description) the text at least needs to be stronger: "Warning: do not use hyphens in the repository name as they will be stripped".

Yes, we decided to just inform the admin users to not use hyphens and not really address the actual gitolite issue. Thanks.
- Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
- % Done changed from 0 to 100
