firestore-backup-restore --accountCredentials /source.json --backupPath /path --restoreAccountCredentials /target.json

I have just tried it out in versions 1.2.1, 1.3.1 and the error is still there.

I could try to fix it but not sure where to look for.

I close this issue, and we can keep the discussion in #9

TLDR; break up the clone into 2 steps. Backup and then restore. The references will change correctly. Doing a clone (backup and restore immediately) skips the proper code execution to change the references.

As @pmarconi said, this has been moved to #9.
