Description

Pushing to mirror is currently impossible as there is a check in

gitea/cmd/serv.go

Line 214 in 01c10a9

if requestedMode > models.AccessModeRead && repo.IsMirror {

.

Is this a hard technical limitation or is it only forbidden because it is slightly dangerous? Do you think this can be enabled?

Usecase: Create a up-to-date mirror of the official source code repository, but push experimental/internal features into a private and mirroring gitea instance first, which is also used by CI runners and so on.

Branches like master would always be up-to-date with upsteam because of the mirroring and would be protected by local pushes, while you could push feature-branches that are not upstream.

I've commented out these checks locally and it seems to work fine.
