Snippet repository storage moves API (FREE SELF)

Introduced in GitLab 13.8.

Snippet repositories can be moved between storages. This can be useful when migrating to Gitaly Cluster, for example.

As snippet repository storage moves are processed, they transition through different states. Values of state are:

initial
scheduled
started
finished
failed
replicated
cleanup failed

To ensure data integrity, snippets are put in a temporary read-only state for the duration of the move. During this time, users receive a The repository is temporarily read-only. Please try again later. message if they try to push new commits.

This API requires you to authenticate yourself as an administrator.
