On the @Forgejo instance of Codeberg, we discovered that forking a repo
which is already forked now returns a 500 Internal Server Error, which
is unexpected. This is an attempt at fixing this.
The error message in the log:
~~~
2023/05/02 08:36:30 .../api/v1/repo/fork.go:147:CreateFork() [E]
[6450cb8e-113] ForkRepository: repository is already forked by user
[uname: ...., repo path: .../..., fork path: .../...]
~~~
The service that is used for forking returns a custom error message
which is not checked against.
About the order of options:
The case that the fork already exists should be more common, followed by
the case that a repo with the same name already exists for other
reasons. The case that the global repo limit is hit is probably not the
likeliest.
