So you'd have to add > a "--no-smtp-user" by hand. I think the "--no-smtp-user" is what I really wanted. I've written a different patch that actually targets the user name properly, but I've also found a current solution that can work for scripting purposes: just redirect the $GIT_CONFIG environment variable to /dev/null temporarily. Perhaps I'll send my new patch sometime, but it's not pressing and I'm not sure what kind of use it would actually get. Thanks for the pointers.
