Agreed. New patch attached, feel free to amend.

Subject: [PATCH] Add user.explicit boolean for when ident shouldn't be guessed

Previously, before 5498c57cdd63, many people did the following:

   git config --global user.email "(none)"

This was helpful for people with more than one E-Mail address,
targeting different E-Mail addresses for different clones.
as it barred git from creating commit unless the user.email
config was set in the per-repo config to the correct E-Mail
address.

Now, since the original 'bug' was fixed, and practically every
string is acceptable for user.email and user.name, it is best
to reimplement the feature not as an exploit of a bug, but as
an actual feature.
