Trouble with tag names when pushing new tags from local to remote #171
Description
I am trying to sync my gmail repository from local to remote for the first time, and it is creating a bunch of new labels. They keep failing with
push: creating label: arxiv..
Traceback (most recent call last):

Since I have about 100000 emails in this repository, I have to try and fix label names and retry. Then it tries to download all the metadata all over again. The first time I run gmi push takes forever, as expected, since I keep getting rate limited. But then after the crashes, I have to start all over again.
I am considering setting --ignore-labels-local=[all labels that do not exist in gmail] to save me some trouble. Does that make sense?
