[PATCH] git-send-email.perl: Fixed sending of many/huge changes/patches

From
LWLars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org>

Message-ID
<1443597969-3962-1-git-send-email-polynomial-c@gentoo.org>
From: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch>
Sometimes sending huge patches/commits fail with

[Net::SMTP::SSL] Connection closed at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1320.

Running the command with --smtp-debug=1 yields to

Net::SMTP::SSL: Net::Cmd::datasend(): unexpected EOF on command channel: at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1320. [Net::SMTP::SSL] Connection closed at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1320.

Stefan described it in his mail like this:

It seems to me that there is a size limit, after cutting down the patch to ~16K, sending started to work. I cut it twice, once by removing lines from the head and once from the bottom, in both cases at the size of around 16K I could send the patch.
