From: Andy Shevchenko Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2008 09:59:24 GMT Subject: [PATCH] git-send-email: provide hook to send lines more than 998 symbols Message-ID: <1227261564-13268-1-git-send-email-andy.shevchenko@gmail.com> 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.
