A separate issue: please, don't send patches like that as attachment. It

hard for people review. Instead, you should use git send-email. There's

an example there (at least on git version 1.7.8) showing how to set it for
Google:
$ git help send-email

EXAMPLE
Use gmail as the smtp server
To use git send-email to send your patches through the GMail SMTP
server, edit ~/.gitconfig to specify your
account settings:
[sendemail]
smtpencryption = tls
smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
smtpuser = yourname@xxxxxxxxx
smtpserverport = 587
Once your commits are ready to be sent to the mailing list, run the
following commands:
$ git format-patch --cover-letter -M origin/master -o outgoing/
$ edit outgoing/0000-*
$ git send-email outgoing/*
I have SMTP which requires login over SSL. I am not sure if Git send-email event supports that
It does.
but even if it supports I don't like idea to put my clear text password to some config file.
You could then write a small script:
#!/bin/bash
echo -n Password:
read
git send-email --smtp-pass $REPLY
This would avoid storing your password at the bash history or at a config file.
That's why I have used Thunderbird with External Editor and it sucks :/
git send-email will likely work a way better than that.
