Gmail doesn't allow to use SMTP in a classic way (normal auth
with/without encryption). You may need to ask your sysadmins for
XOAUTH2 keys and try to pass that git send-email through an SMTP thing
like msmtp.
A faster solution would be to make the patches with git format-patch
and then send a manually created email with the patches attached.
