Hello
Recently, I have had trouble using git send-email to send a patchset. After the confirmation to send the email I get the following: Send this email? ([y]es|[n]o|[q]uit|[a]ll): y [Net::SMTP::SSL] Connection closed at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1320. fatal: 'send-email' appears to be a git command, but we were not able to execute it. Maybe git-send-email is broken?
This message first appeared when I tried to send a 19 commit patchset via 'git send-email HEAD~19'. It also fails when I try to format-patch and send the patchset separately via 'git send-email 0001...' Oddly enough, it works when I send anything other than 19 commits for example 'git send-email HEAD~1' or 'git send-email HEAD~20'
I thought it was something with the gmail servers but I was able to send the patchset by downgrading a couple perl packages warning: downgrading package perl (5.22.0-1 => 5.20.2-1) warning: downgrading package perl-net-ssleay (1.68-2 => 1.67-1)
Note perl-net-ssleay depends on perl 5.22 so I can't isolate which package but I can consistently get the failure with the newest packges and it works fine with the downgraded packages.
Running Arch Linux git 2.4.5 perl 5.22.0 perl-authen-sasl 2.16 perl-mime-tools 5.505 perl-net-smtp-ssl 1.03
