As John Tapsell wrote in SubmittingPatches (commit 50dffd4e, 2009-02-19): | GMail does not appear to have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web | interface, so this will mangle any emails that you send. You can however | use any IMAP email client to connect to the google imap server, and forward | the emails through that. Just make sure to disable line wrapping in that | email client. Alternatively, use "git send-email" instead. I am not sure what that means about what SubmittingPatches should say: should it explain both methods, then? If I were doing it, I would put the information in the git-imap-send and git-send-mail man pages as examples. That way, it would be visible for people submitting patches to _other_ projects, too. The section in Documentation/SubmittingPatches could be replaced with a pointer.
