Description
Summary
There is need for the possibility to change a forked repository to become the upstream repository, and all the internal references to the old upstream to points to the new upstream.
Use Case
For example, there is an upstream repository (upstream.repo), and with multiple forks, there is a need to rename this upstream repository to ‘upstream.old_repo’, and then rename one of the forked repository to (upstream.repo) the original name of the old upstream repository. By doing this, the forked repository now becomes the new upstream repository.
To enable all references from CI/CD tools referencing the previous upstream to remain consistent with the new upstream, the internal references of the previous upstream should now be the same for the new upstream.
