"followers" & "following" is a valid repository name

[ghost]

• Gitea version (or commit ref): 1.11.0+dev-534-ga864d61ee
• Can you reproduce the bug at https://try.gitea.io:
  • Yes (provide example URL)
  • No
  • Not relevant

Description

Gitea uses the URL https://try.gitea.io/imtestingthis/followers to display my followers, and https://try.gitea.io/imtestingthis/following to display who I follow.

It is possible to create a repository called followers or following. In this case you cannot view the repository's content as the user's followers/following list appears instead. It is still possible to go to a repository's subpages such as issues, wiki, etc.

Solutions

1. Disallow the creation of repositories called followers and following.
2. Use https://try.gitea.io/imtestingthis?followers and https://try.gitea.io/imtestingthis?following as a URL for those pages. This would be consistent with other profile actions such as https://try.gitea.io/imtestingthis?tab=activity .
