Hi ,

I would like to submit a patch but receive the following error:

[ernesto at localhost outgoing]$ git send-email --smtp-debug=1 --to buildroot at busybox.net --cc ernesto at slac.stanford.edu 0001-hdf5-new-package.patch
fatal: 0001-hdf5-new-package.patch: 1277: patch contains a line longer than 998 characters
warning: no patches were sent


Indeed, there is a line longer 998 characters.  This is due to some auto generated code.

Is there a way to get git send-email to ignore this and proceed?


Cheers,
Ernesto

Just run:  git help send-email

       --[no-]validate
           Perform sanity checks on patches. Currently, validation means
           the following:

           ?   Warn of patches that contain lines longer than 998
               characters; this is due to SMTP limits as described by
               http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt.

           Default is the value of sendemail.validate; if this is not
           set, default to --validate.
