Description

It seems to have imported the repos successfully, but then this error shows up at the end:

Research direction

Start with lib/tasks/gitlab/task_helpers.rake, especially prompt and ask_to_continue, then trace the call from lib/tasks/gitlab/shell.rake into lib/tasks/gitlab/backup.rake. Reproduce the v7.10.0 backup restore and verify that the restore completes without the NoMethodError shown in the report.
