gist-buffer/gist-region fails with (wrong-type-argument listp empty) about gist.el

@sigma: similar behaviour observed on "GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1"

a very dirty hack which might be of value to others till this issue is properly
resolved : https://gist.github.com/3127107

it's based on the observation that it's only the creation of new gists
(containing '%') which is affected, you can still edit in the problematic '%'
characters just fine

@suhailshergill haha wow, that's truly awesome. Creating a gist with nothing but `foo', then immediately overwriting it. Well done, kind sir. Works for me.

@mgalgs you're welcome :)

This hack doesn't seem to play nicely with GH enterprise API instances

I.e., the fix for this (gh.el) doesn't work too well with the defadvice hack... Can %'s simply be escaped as gist sends the data to the server?

:(

[sigma]

can you try with gist.el 1.1.1 and gh 0.7.2 (both just released) ?
If that doesn't work for you, please provide an example as I can't reproduce anymore

Thanks

[sigma]

closing as I believe it's now fixed. Please reopen if that's not the case

[mgalgs]

Confirmed working, thanks!
