[Bug 1278285] [NEW] git send-email fails SSL certificate verification

[Joel Stanley]

Public bug reported:

When using git send-email via the Gmail SMTP servers, I get the
following error:

STARTTLS failed! SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate
verify failed at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1241.

The git configuration is as follows:

[sendemail "gmail"]
    smtpencryption = tls
    smtpserver = smtp.gmail.com
    smtpuser = myaccount at gmail.com
    smtpserverport = 587
