'sendemail.composeencoding'; if that is unspecified, UTF-8 is assumed.
---transfer-encoding=(7bit|8bit|quoted-printable|base64)::
+--transfer-encoding=(7bit|8bit|quoted-printable|base64|auto)::
Specify the transfer encoding to be used to send the message over SMTP.
7bit will fail upon encountering a non-ASCII message. quoted-printable
can be useful when the repository contains files that contain carriage
returns, but makes the raw patch email file (as saved from a MUA) much
harder to inspect manually. base64 is even more fool proof, but also
- even more opaque. Default is the value of the `sendemail.transferEncoding`
- configuration value; if that is unspecified, git will use 8bit and not
- add a Content-Transfer-Encoding header.

If at least one of the specified mechanisms matches the ones advertised by the
SMTP server and if it is supported by the utilized SASL library, the mechanism
is used for authentication. If neither 'sendemail.smtpAuth' nor `--smtp-auth`
-is specified, all mechanisms supported by the SASL library can be used.

--smtp-pass[=<password>]::
Password for SMTP-AUTH. The argument is optional: If no
specified (with `--smtp-pass` or `sendemail.smtpPass`), then
a password is obtained using 'git-credential'.
+--no-smtp-auth::
+ Disable SMTP authentication. Short hand for `--smtp-auth=none`

--smtp-server=<host>::
If set, specifies the outgoing SMTP server to use (e.g.
`smtp.example.com` or a raw IP address). Alternatively it can
