Yes, but you could explicitly set them to empty strings in your
project's .git/config.

I've tried "git config --local --unset some.option" which actually only
deletes the some.option if it is there. It does not add an entry with
empty value to override what's in some less specific git config. For
that, you can do "git config --local some.option ''", i.e., pass the
empty string value yourself.
With your example, you could write something like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[sendemail]
smtpServer = alternate-mail-server.com
smtpUser =
smtpServerPort =
tocmd =
cccmd =
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Why? And why "external"? I cheated and used this command to figure out
what exactly I would need to write in the git config file.
