Hey all,

I've been spending a lot of time lately using git send-email to send 
patchsets to mailing lists, and I'm super tired of supplying my SMTP 
password each time. However, I cannot seem to figure out how to configure a 
git credential helper for SMTP. No matter what syntax I try in my 
gitconfig, it appears to be ignored.

For instance:

[sendemail]
    smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
    smtpuser = christopher.waldon....@gmail.com
    smtpencryption = tls
    smtpserverport = 587
    annotate = yes
[credential "smtp://smtp.gmail.com"]
    helper = "!/usr/bin/pass smtp/christopher.waldon....@gmail.com"

This is one permutation that I've tried. So far as I can tell, the helper 
is never invoked, so I assume that the URL is failing to match. I'm not 
sure how/why though.

Does anyone have a working SMTP credential helper configuration they can 
share with me?

Cheers,
Chris
