Description

While gitea restore-repo is running, visiting the repository in the web interface will show an upside-down teacup with the text "Migration failed."

The visuals express a much more dire situation than is actually the case. While the import is running, it would be much friendlier to display "This repository is being migrated", instead of the definitive "has failed".

To make matters worse, the web interface also shows a "Delete This Repository" button. I haven't dared pressing it while the migration is going, but I'm fairly sure it'll actually make the migration fail.

Note that importing the migrated data from Blender's old tracker takes several minutes on my development machine. This is not a screen that is only visible for a few milliseconds.
