send-email: remove non-working support for "sendemail.smtpssl"
Remove the already dead code to support "sendemail.smtpssl" by finally removing the dead code supporting the configuration option. In f6bebd121ac (git-send-email: add support for TLS via Net::SMTP::SSL, 2008-06-25) the --smtp-ssl command-line option was documented as deprecated, later in 65180c66186 (List send-email config options in config.txt., 2009-07-22) the "sendemail.smtpssl" configuration option was also documented as such. Then in in 3ff15040e22 (send-email: fix regression in sendemail.identity parsing, 2019-05-17) I unintentionally removed support for it by introducing a bug in read_config(). As can be seen from the diff context we've already returned unless $enc i defined, so it's not possible for us to reach the "elsif" branch here. This code was therefore already dead since Git v2.23.0. So let's just remove it. We were already 11 years into a stated deprecation period of this variable when 3ff15040e22 landed, now it's around 13. Since it hasn't worked anyway for around 2 years it looks like we can safely remove it. The --smtp-ssl option is still deprecated, if someone cares they can follow-up and remove that too, but unlike the config option that one could still be in use in the wild. I'm just removing this code that's provably unused already. Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
