FOO += "" previously caused opam to crash.
FOO = "" is honoured, but opam ignores FOO += "" (in particular, no empty segments are ever added).

#4326 fixed the handling of
FOO = ""insetenv/build-env, but for all the other operators, although opam can parse theenvironmentfile, it crashes. The root cause of the crash is that our path split functions return[]when passed an empty string (I think is a bad idea, but it comes from ocaml-re, and it's a bit pervasive -String.split_on_charin the stdlib I think has a more coherent approach).The first commit fixes the crash. The second commit capitalises on the fact that opam has never supported
FOO += ""correctly. The second commit causes opam to skip such updates entirely. This means, for example, thatPATH += ""is ignored (if the package really intended adding the current directory toPATH, thenPATH += "."already works today).
