Incomplete repo creation not visible in web-ui #21

Description

I tried to create a repo on the official gitea instance using the official tea cli.
The exact command was: tea repo c --name nim-olm --private --labels "nim,olm,cryptography". This seems to have failed, as the only response was a single line stating Error: and nothing more.
Trying to create the repository using the web client, I now get a message that "The data for the repository already exists. Please contact a system administrator", see the screenshot attached to this message.
However the repository is not visible in the webui or using the tea cli.

Also, if some gitea.com-admin is reading this, it would be great if he could remove the data, so I can properly create the repository. My account name is BarrOff, and I tried to create a repo named "nim-olm".

I filed a bug in gitea for this: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/14327

One issue was that you used the --labels flag to provide a list of issues, whereas it should contain the name/id of a a label-set created previously (not possible with tea currently, see gitea/tea#325).

Also note, that gitea.com is not a general purpose git forge, but aimed at supporting Gitea's own development processes, so moving all your repos here may not work out (currently there is a limit of 5 repos).

@lunny @techknowlogick can you clean the local git files for BarrOff/nim-olm?

@noerw @BarrOff I have checked the server and didn't find the repository on the disk and database.

@noerw @lunny I just tried to create the repository using the web-ui and it worked seamlessly. I did not change anything, so I have no clue as to why it now worked.

Therefore you can close this issue if you want.
Also, thank you for the great work on gitea! :-)

@lunny I removed the error'd repo earlier today and hadn't updated with a comment here.
