[PATCH 2/4] mw-to-git: check blank credential attributes via length

From

When writing a credential to git-credential, we omit fields that do not have a true value. This will skip empty or undefined fields (which we want), but will also accidentally skip usernames or passwords which happen to have a non-true value (e.g., "0"). Be more careful by checking for non-zero length.
