According to the manpage: --smtp-encryption=<encryption> Specify the encryption to use, either ssl or tls. Any other value reverts to plain SMTP. Default is the value of sendemail.smtpencryption. However, if I have already set sendemail.smtpencryption but try to override it with something like 'no', the authentication code block still tries to ask for a password (and fails). This patch forces $smtp_encryption to 'none' when a proper encryption type is not provided, then checks $smtp_encryption before proceeding to authentication. Example execution: $ git send-email --smtp-encryption=no --smtp-domain=<xxx> \ --smtp-server=<xxx> --smtp-server-port=25 myfile.patch Password: Command unknown: 'AUTH' at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-send-email line 1115, <STDIN> line 1. Tested on Git 1.7.5.4 and 1.7.9.1.
