repo fork attempt leads to: 504 gateway timeout #2743

Trying to fork a repo guix/guix (190K commits, 80 branches, 40 tags, 2.4GiB) takes a long time, with the page / tab spinning. And after a while an error 504 gateway timeout is reported back.

I tried a few times, and it also fails even when forking the master branch only.

After a failure, if retried early, I got the files for this repository already exist error, but retrying again a bit later, this was not the case anymore and the new fork attempt started succesfully, and then after some time the 504 is returned again.

Commented on #2736 about this failure. Details from #2596 may also be applicable to this issue.

I'm running a maintenance task to making forking guix "fast" again, so forking it in a few hours should just work. If you want to contribute right now, you can use AGit workflow.

@Gusted
Thanks a lot, it worked this morning, the guix fork was quick. I'll let you close this issue when you think it should be done.

Thanks also for the AGit workflow reference, good to know there's an alternative.

Argh, now that I've forked it, I'm over quota...
But but but, I think I'm a special snowflake !
Created an issue to handle that.
