+Subject: [PATCH] conf: Support "proxy=_none_" in main config (RhBug:2155713)
+
+It has the same meaning as "proxy=". Introduced for compatibility with yum.
+Yum does not support a proxy option with an empty value. Instead, it has
+the special value "_none_". The value "_none_" is case insensitive.
+
+Support for "proxy=_none_" in the repository configuration was added some
+time ago - in commit ea749e6238cdb54fe3b5add67875ab5912d2e766
+
