How to import old Stash export into Bitbucket

Question

I have an old Stash export that contains a repository along with all of its history.  For some reason I can't get this one repository to import into Bitbucket.  I did successfully do this for 25 other old repos, but this one is simply not cooperating.  I wrote down notes on how I did it for the other 24, but it doesn't work for this one repo.

Can I get the exact steps and commands on how to do this correctly?

Thanks!! Steve Miller

I was able to fix it with help from this web post:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44106103/how-to-import-gitlab-repository-to-bitbucket-repository

#cd to the .git folder
cd /d/Development/Repositories/repo.git

# Make a bare mirrored clone of the repository
git remote add repo https://bitbucket.company.com/scm/repos/repo.git

# Create the repository in Bitbucket

# Set the push location to your mirror
git push --all repo
git push --tags repo

All is good now!!!

Ahh, you have an export that's slightly broken.   Start from Ana's fix over at https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Bitbucket-questions/Bitbucket-reserved-refs-when-cleaning-up-with-BFG-tool/qaq-p/702969

Note to add:

I do get something in the import...  One tag with some old files...  Not helpful!
