Getting Started: Add detail to use of git push --mirror #422

Based on discussion in Forgejo #2834.

Just disabling the "Pull requests" unit before using git push --mirror does not seem to do the trick with me. I still get messages along the lines of:

remote: Forgejo: The deletion of refs/pull/88/head is skipped as it's an internal reference.
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/pull/88/head

Is there a missing this step that should also be documented maybe?

Hi, I am not sure what to do here.

Just disabling the "Pull requests" unit before using git push --mirror does not seem to do the trick with me. I still get messages along the lines of:

So, disabling the Pull Requests unit causes the --mirror option to freak out? Sounds like a Forgejo bug.

Or, well, not sure if it's a bug, but something that Forgejo should probably fix.

Are there any recommendations for improving the documentation of this section?

I actually don't have any recommendations and think that this should be fine, but I'm concerned with @foxy's statement mentioning that this does not work for them for some reason.

So, right now the only reason that the merge is being stalled is because I am not sure whether git push --mirror works and not because of the merits of your change, and I have to admit that I am slightly "frozen" in the sense that I am not sure how to proceed here.

I could see if I can reproduce this consistently on an arbitrary test mirror and if so, open an issue and link it here. If I am unable to reproduce this elsewhere, you could ignore my problem and get this merged anyway? Just give me one to two days to find the free time to work on this, please. Does that sound alright?

Here are the steps I am following to get the error above while still disabling the Pull Requests unit and using the --mirror flag: Codeberg/Community#1569. If I am doing something wrong in the mirroring process, perhaps the right steps to follow could be specified in the docs.

Maybe this PR can be merged and a documentation feature Issue can be created pending results from ongoing experimentation?

Apologies for the delay.
