I always use --attach because gmail will word wrap to ~80 characters for plain text email. I believe you are probably right about this being a gmail rather than git issue, since I get the same problem trying to send upload drafts through thunderbird, or send emails through alpine using gmail's imap and smtp servers. Conversely I am able to send emails without line ending conversion by manually attaching files through gmail's web interface. I didn't have this issue before when I was using libgmail, but I switched to git imap-send when libgmail was removed from ubuntu's repository. As a result I don't know if gmail's imap/smtp servers just started doing this.
