+GMail does not appear to have any way to turn off line wrapping in the web
+interface, so this will mangle any emails that you send.  You can however
+use any IMAP email client to connect to the google imap server, and forward
+the emails through that.  Just make sure to disable line wrapping in that
+email client.  Alternatively, use "git send-email" instead.

 Submitting properly formatted patches via Gmail is simple now that
 IMAP support is available. First, edit your ~/.gitconfig to specify your
 account settings:
 
 [imap]
-	folder = "[Gmail]/Drafts"
+	folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts"
 	host = imaps://imap.gmail.com
 	user = [email protected]
 	pass = p4ssw0rd
 	port = 993
 	sslverify = false
 
+You might need to instead use:  folder = "[Google Mail]/Drafts" if you get an error
+that the "Folder doesn't exist".
+
 Next, ensure that your Gmail settings are correct. In "Settings" the
 "Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages" should be checked.

I thought the consensus from the last patch was that it should stay Gmail, as that is the name used in most countries?

And this hunk certainly implies that's what you were shooting for.
