Asked Han-Wen.  What's going on is that password authentication is no
more with Google.

So what I did was pressed "Create Issue" on codereview.appspot.com which
tells you to use update.py and provides a download for it.  So I
downloaded it, overwrote the version in the git-cl directory (which does
not know about oauth2) with it, edited the --oauth2 option to default to
True (since I did not figure out how upload.py is getting called by
git-cl).

So now git-cl -n works again.  But git cl does not just need to
communicate with Rietveld.  Everything else (which basically means
Google Code) doesn't, consequently.  So neither does Patchy.

Got a headache now.  But at least I updated issue 4422 with a Rietveld
review.  Even though Patchy can't comment on it.
