        [:description, :homepage ].each{|o| repo_options[o] = options[o] if options[o]}
        repo_options[:public] = 0 if options[:private]                
      
        Repository.create(repo_options)

Turned out it was due to a DNS configuration error...

On another note, it seems like the repository API doesn't yet support forking a repository!?
