I don't think it is so unusual for a "value" object to be able to
reflect the fact that the value is unset, but I can understand your
point of view too.  I will omit this renaming in the re-roll.

I thought the name was awkward, too, but I chose it to be consistent
with git_checkattr().  So in the re-roll I will happily rename both
functions.
