gmail smtp server and git-send-mail. Is this combination working?

Hi all,
as I previously wrote I would like to use git-send-email to send out a series
of patches.
While I was looking for documentation I saw the following statement in the
git wiki:

" Mailing off a set of patches to a mailing list can be quite neatly
done by git-send-email.
One of the problems you may encounter there is figuring out which machine
is going to send your mail.
I tried smtp.gmail.com, but that one requires tls and a password,
and git-send-email could not handle that "

From http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitTips.

Is this statemant still correct ?
Is msmtp the only solution for using git-send-mail with gmail? (tls +
autentication).

Thanks.

regards,
