At this point, I [need to export some private repos](https://twitter.com/lgarron/status/573589776659447808), and I don't trust myself to use the API and copy back up all the issue metadata myself. (The [`issues` endpoint](https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/issues) deceptively includes the body of the first comment of the issue but not the rest. I don't want to play endpoint whack-a-mole on a repo that needs to be preserved right before it's deleted.)\r\n\r\nAfter a few hours of wrestling with `cabal` dependencies, I finally got `github-backup` to run again, and I get the same error as ever:\r\n\r\n    github-backup: Backup may be incomplete; [x] requests failed\r\n\r\nIs this common? How do I debug this without sinking another 5 hours into it?\r\n(Or is there some other solution that makes it easy to back up metadata for an entire repo?)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/joeyh/github-backup/issues/comments/163386703","html_url":"https://github.com/joeyh/github-backup/issues/32#issuecomment-163386703","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/joeyh/github-backup/issues/32","id":163386703,"user":{"login":"lgarron","id":248078,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/248078?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron","html_url":"https://github.com/lgarron","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/lgarron/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-09T20:44:39Z","updated_at":"2015-12-09T20:44:39Z","body":"> I found https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup and it seems to work much better\r\n\r\nWorks excellently, thank you!"}}
