1714474 - please create level 1 repository at l10n/gecko-strings-quarantine

Description

[Aki Sasaki (not active)]

In bug 1659691, the l10n and releng teams are working to automate cross-channel strings generation and push commits to the quarantine repository.

The current quarantine repository is a user repo of a user no longer at MoCo, which is not an ideal long-term location. I'm asking for a level 1 repo to make it simpler to push to the repo from automation. (A human will look at these commits before committing to the production strings repo.)

This could be an empty repo, or a clone of users/axel_mozilla.com/gecko-strings-quarantine/; I'm open. (I would push the contents of the latter to the new repo anyway.)

Thank you!

Initialized a new empty repo at https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n/gecko-strings-quarantine/

Level is scm_level_1. I can see some repos have a scm_l10n_infra - not sure if that's relevant in this case or not.

We should probably push the contents of the old user repo to this new repo so the pushlog is populated. :)

Thank you! I'll check on what scm_l10n_infra is.
But when I push, I'm getting

I may need help populating this, or at least for us to disable the single_root check temporarily.

Thank you! I'll check on what scm_l10n_infra is.

That's the group used to manage repos like l10n-central, which we need because some localizers have hg access, and should only be able to access specific repos.

Which reminds me we need to update the l10n section of this page

Looks like that was disabled for gecko-strings too (bug 1405985)
