[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bulk transferring digital objects to another repository API

[Brian Hoffman]

If you want to move all the records in a repository to another repository, you can. But if you have a subset of records to transfer you need to hit the endpoint for each transfer. You can see how this works in the unit test for the controller:

The only sane way to accomplish this appears to be via the API but I'm having a hard time understanding the correct POST method pattern for accomplishing this. Looking at the repository transfer controller <http://bit.ly/1SWxkoz>, how is the target_repo sent in the request? Can someone send an example?
