really need a delete and add of same repo

since the repo itself was changed (re-imported with filters, thus repo history was changed)

Need to purge old enlistment completely and add it again.

https://www.ohloh.net/projects/themanaworld/enlistments

its the failed one on above page.

maybe let managers purge when deleting an enlistment as a feature request, instead of persistantly saving the old history, since sometimes, you really want to re-add a repo which had history altered on the same url.

Hi peavey,

I can understand your frustration, but re-importing repositories can be very expensive for us, and it opens us up to serious abuse if we allow it from the web site. Even restricting it to managers does not really help us, since anyone can claim to be a manager of a new project. Legitimate requests for this are pretty rare compared to the number of accidental or malicious clicks we would get.

I've started a fresh import git://gitorious.org/tmwdata/mainline.git, and I'll keep an eye on the project to make sure it comes through.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if there's anything else you need,

Robin

No that's quite fine, it is indeed a rare event, I was just wondering if such a feature was feasible. I was unsure of the impact on your systems if this was allowed and appreciate you taking time to explain it.

Thank you for the fix :)
