I somehow managed to miss this email, but I assume you managed to work
around this with git-pw? This sounds like a bug with the XML-RPC API
and we're probably not going to bother fixing it at this point. The
REST API provides all the same functionality (and more!) and we'll be
dropping the XML-RPC API in 3.0 (the next version once 2.2 is out the
door) so it's not worth the effort. I hope to port pwclient to the REST
API shortly but until then, just use git-pw :)
