This is due to the weird "[Gmail]" prefix in the folder.
I tried manually replacing it with:
        folder = %5BGmail%5D/Drafts
in .git/config and it works.

curl is doing some fancy handling with brackets and braces. It make sense for 
multiple FTP downloads like ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[1-100].txt, not in 
our case.
The curl command line has a --globoff argument to disable this "regexp" support 
and it seems to fix the gmail case.
However I couldn't find a way to change this value through the API...

I guess we should open a bug upstream to get access to this setting through the 
API and add a patch that HTTP encode brackets and braces in the meantime.
