[sendmail]
    smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
    smtpserverport = 587
    smtpuser = xenoterracide@gmail.com
    smtppass = YeahITypedThisRight
    smtpencryption = tls

everything look good here? because mail isn't actually reaching it's destination. I have a feeling that's because the MTA isn't set up. I /could/ set that up... but I don't think that's something that anyone should have to do to send email patches.

also according to someone else the reason git can't handle the attachments is because they are still base64 encoded.
