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

[Anders Kaseorg]

The only difference between 1.9.1-0ppa1~precise1 and 1.9.1-1 is that
1.9.1-1 recommends libio-socket-ssl-perl (>= 1.951). The changelog for
IO::Socket::SSL lists:

1.951 2013/7/3 
- better document builtin defaults for key,cert,CA and how they are depreceated
- use Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_default_verify_paths to use openssl's builtin
  defaults for CA unless CA path/file was given (or IO::Socket::SSL builtins
  used)

Precise’s libio-socket-ssl-perl is too old, and I’m not going to add a
newer one to the PPA because it could have unforeseen effects on
packages other than Git.

Bug description:
  When using git send-email via the Gmail SMTP servers, I get the
