Emails are sent out while mirroring #19

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

When using the gitlab-copy script, for each new issue emails are sent to the people that are referenced in that issue. Preferably this should be disabled during import time (when possible).

That may not be that easy to implement: every user defines custom notification policies. So the gitlab-copy tool would need to modify user settings, which I find too intrusive (and it would need an administrator token to be able to do that).

Maybe an easier way would be, if possible, to disable temporarily email sending when you migrate issues?

I agree upon that being too intrusive, this was just something that I stumbled upon when migrating.. I'm not an expert on the Gitlab API, but if they don't support it (yet), there's little that the tool can do unfortunately indeed..

Exactly, so I'm closing this issue for now. Thanks for reporting it!
