+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.

 Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that
 IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
 account settings:
 
 [imap]

 	host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
 	user = user@xxxxxxxxx
 	pass = p4ssw0rd
 	port = 993
 	sslverify = false
 
+You might need to instead use:  folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error
+that the "Folder doesn't exist".
+
 Next, ensure that your Gmail settings are correct. In "Settings" the
 "Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" should be checked.
