By default git-send-email does not accept patch which is contain lines longer
than 998 symbols. Sometime it's inconvenient, i.e. you have a long list in one
variable in shell script. So, define environment variable
GIT_SEND_EMAIL_LONGLINE to something to avoid that restriction.

As a curiosity, why is such a check even neccessary?

I'm not an author of that strange check (possible it's somehow related
to b8ebe08b9a643f432866eb7150c3b20d59b755f2)
