create.repository() problems

[Julin Maloof]

It is possible that I am not understanding something, but I am having problems with create.repository():

based on the help file I thought that I should run it like this:

create.repository(name="my_new_repo",ctx)

But I get an error

Error: is.null(body) is not TRUE

Same error if I try

create.repository2(content=list(name="my_new_repos"),ctx=ctx)

However I can fix it by modifying the function:

create.repository2 <- function (content, ctx = get.github.context()) 
.api.post.request(ctx, c("user", "repos"), body = content)

environment(create.repository2) <- asNamespace("github")

create.repository2(content=list(name="my_new_repos"),ctx=ctx)
#works!

(original function is):

function (..., ctx = get.github.context()) 
.api.post.request(ctx, c("user", "repos"), body = content)

Is there something I don't understand about how to use the original function, or is this a bug?

Thanks,

Julin

It's an embarrassing bug; create.repository appears to be completely broken on master. Thanks for catching that.

Incidentally, it's not easy to test create.repository (and other similar things) without polluting someone's GitHub's profile. I honestly don't know what the best practice here should be.
