Upgrade gitlab 12.x to 16.9.1 and make a backup by running the command gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:create. After reinstalling gitlab16.9.1, run the gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:restore command to restore data. Only pg data is restored, but no data is restored in repositories. Running the gitlab-backup restore command also does not restore repositories data.
The log is as follows:

I did a test, after directly installing gitlab16.9.1, upload a project, backup and restore, the log is as follows

Question:
1、Why is repositories data skipped, and how can I fix it？
2、Why does the upgraded gitlab backup file have the design.git file when restored, and the directly installed gitlab backup does not have the design.git file when restored？
