If you're on MacOS X and have MacPorts installed, then install both
the curl and msmtp packages, then use an .msmtprc as follows:

defaults
tls on
tls_trust_file /opt/local/share/curl/curl-ca-bundle.crt
syslog LOG_MAIL

# gmail
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
auth on
from jaysoffian@gmail.com
user jaysoffian@gmail.com

# Default account
account default : gmail

Adjusting for you account of course. And in your git config:

[sendemail]
	smtpserver = /opt/local/bin/msmtp


Now why would you do this you ask instead of using git's built-in SMTP
support? Because I provided a patch to msmtp long ago that lets it
access your gmail password from Mac OS X's keychain. Note that it
looks for a password stored in the same format as Mail.app would store
it, see the msmtp man page for details.

FWIW, I think Gnome also has a keychain like thingy that msmtp can also query.
