Yes I have tried it. An empty string causes the SMTP auth Perl module
to choke. It expects a non-empty username and exits with an error.
On my system I have patched git-send-email to perform this check:
if (defined $smtp_authuser and length $smtp_authuser) {
This works but feels like a hack. I think unset override could be
useful for any git config option, not just sendemail.smtpuser.
I'm not familiar with git internals; do you have other suggestions for
solving this issue?
