pw: improve readme and add note on git-pw version
Older git-pw versions have some mbox decoding issues which I ran into, but this got fixed in a more recent version, therefore add a note to the README: $ git pw series download 133745 mbox.i Server version missing You should provide the server version in the URL configured via git-config or --server This will be required in git-pw 2.0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/git-pw", line 10, in <module> sys.exit(cli()) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 764, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 717, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1137, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1137, in invoke return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 956, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/click/core.py", line 555, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/git_pw/series.py", line 55, in download_cmd output.write(api.get(series['mbox']).text) UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position 4418-4420: ordinal not in range(128) Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
