Well, it would be nice to add this information to the wiki, it's still
mentioning
that you require an external program for supporting the TLS connection.
I'll do that when I'll get my box working with the configuration you suggested,

What I'm getting at the moment is:
paolo@paolo-desktop:~/git$ git-send-email -compose -to
paolo.ciarrocchi@gmail.com /home/paolo/Desktop/patch/
snip
snip
Can't locate Net/SMTP/SSL.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

As indicated, the module you need is Net::SMTP::SSL, if there is no
package for ubuntu, you can install it using CPAN:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SMTP::SSL'

I'm now getting:
Unable to initialize SMTP properly.  Is there something wrong with
your config? at /home/paolo/bin/git-send-email line 638.

You also need to have Authen::SASL installed. Do you have that? As I
recall I needed to edit the code to even see that error.

With Authen::SASL and Net::SMTP::SSL, you can get 1 patch at a time in
via gmail. The alternative connection mode which git-send-email
doesn't support yet is to connect over smtp then negotiate TLS using
'STARTTLS'. If you do this then you can send multiple patches via
gmail with a single call to git-send-email.

There was a patch offered a while back from Simon Sasburg to add
starttls support to git-send-email. At the time I questioned it but I
hadn't seen the 1-patch-at-a-time limit then. Thread:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git/2007/10/31/373400
(nb the key thing added by this patch is starttls, not tls)

I tried to get help on #git but I failed, it looks like other people
are getting the same error.

Hope this helps,
Baz
