Bonjour Pierre! ... and all git developers!

I think there is a bug with git-send-email.perl's evaluation of the sendemail.multiedit config variable.

I was only able to make the "do_edit()" function detect it as false by setting the variable to "0" instead
of "false", like so:

git config --global sendemail.multiedit 0

otherwise do_edit evaluates it as true and invokes the editor with all files as argument.
The patch below looks like the obvious fix.  Perhaps you can test it?
