dev.knotless.forkRepo

Copies a repository, every branch and tag, into a new dev.knotless.repo in the account logged in to this appview's web pages, naming it as forked from the first, as `knotless repo fork` does. Requires the session cookie the pages' login sets: the appview writes with the session it keeps for that account.
