Problem Description

What is actually happening

A lot of HTTP 422 errors are happening in the repository plugin with the latest code

What is the expected behavior

No errors should be happening. I tested with an older version and they do throw hose errors

Error output, if available

I am also seeing this error - I'm running via a GitHub Action and safe-settings seems to get through a couple repositories and then tries to rename the rest to an existing repo name.

I went back to a known working version and started applying changes. i looks like the problem is in the settings.js and the changes introduced by PR 692 causes the 422 errors.

I have a version of settings.js that does not have the changes for Archive plugin and it seems to work. So I will push that out this week and we can go back to troubleshooting the archive code.
