I have default settings for sending email in the global git config.
However, for one repo different email settings are necessary.  That
specific SMTP server does not want authentication, therefore smtpuser
should be unset.

The issue is that global smtpuser is set for the default SMTP server
and unsetting local smtpuser results in the global smtpuser being
inherited.  What I'd like is smtpuser to be unset for this particular
repo.

Is there any way to "unset override" options locally?  If not, is this
something that could and should be implemented?
