What steps will reproduce the problem?

Create a local and "remote server" repository

Create another local repositorty and keep it seperate from the first one. Fails while creating second repository on the remote.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected to get two seperate repositories on the client and server. Only first one works.

Got an error:

    Failed to make repository

    Something went wrong setting up the repository on the remote server.
