This doesn't just apply to my tool, but the GitHub web source importer too. While repository names are limited to 100 characters, it seems like there is something that takes into account the length of the repository owner as well. The error message is completely uninformative. You can bypass it by importing to an owner (user/org) with a shorter name, and then transferring to your longer named user/org, but then you can't clone the repository with git. Very bizarre.
Anyway, seems like the cumulative limit is somewhere between 119 and 129 chars. Should work out what it is exactly and catch it.
