Further feedback after experimenting today with the latest test release 
(0.0.261.1.fc16):

1. The PUT to modify a repository doesn't currently accept the same 
arguments as the POST to create one. Instead, it expects a single 
"delta" parameter (which then appears to expect the same arguments as 
the POST).

2. The PUT doesn't update the notes field (the initial POST does 
populate it, however)

Regards,
Nick.
