I am in the process of planning of transfer of a subset of repo' s from one organization to another. Is your script the equivalent of a transfer or is it effectively copying the repo into a new one.

Transfer is important to me as it promises that all urls will work and all data will transfer with the exception of issue ownership.

I would appreciate your advise and feedback
