Bug Description

git repository fork, needs to allow specifying information type, or at least use the highest one of the new owner

when forking a public git repository, into a private team, the new repository has information type public.

it should be the one that matches the new team (i.e. if the team is private new repository should have information type private).

Or the fork api call must accept information type setting, such that the new git repository has desired information type from creation.

We had a quick discussion at our standup, and your request is certainly valid.

We have not come to a final conclusion what's the best way forward.

After some discussions, IMHO there are very few cases (if at all) where it makes sense that a private team has a public repository, so a private team forking a public repo should make the the repo private, too.
