Moving an existing pagure repo to a different namespace

[Dusty Mabe]

I'd like to move some projects around. Is it possible to move an existing
pagure repo to a different namespace? 

Similarly could we have our projects more clearly namespaced like is done
with organizations on github? 

Thanks,
Dusty

It's going to be a manual process:
- clone the sources, issues and requests git repos (and doc if there is one)
- delete the old project
- create the new project
- push there the three (four) git repos cloned above, don't forget to a)
  activate the corresponding git hooks and b) to stop fedmsg and when doing this
  step if you don't want to spam everyone.

- Optionally, re-create the old project with a README explaining where the
  project has moved.

This is up to the people creating the projects.

was hoping for a more automated way, but thanks for the details.

I think this is more of a policy decision. Could we explore requiring newly
created repos to be under some namespace.

Isn't this going to break all existing links to issues, pull requests
etc.? Is it possible to add a redirect from the old place to the new?
