sorry for more pedantic nitpickery, but i'm trying to write a
section on how to properly process mixtures of EOLs in git, and when i
read "man git-config", everything seems to refer to Mac OS X and macOS
(and linux, of course) using <LF> for EOL, with very little mention of
what one does if faced with "classic" mac EOL of just <CR>.
No command in Git that I'm aware of considers a standalone <CR> to be
a line ending. A file containing only <CR>s is treated as a single
line by every Git command I've used. I'm not sure whether that
behavior is configurable. For files with standalone <CR>s mixed with
other line endings (<CRLF> or <LF>, either or both), the <CRLF> and
<LF> endings are both considered line endings while the standalone
<CR>s are not.
That's true, AFAIK. In addition, when Git auto-detects whether a file is
binary or text, then a file with a bare CR is treated as binary:

That basically amounts to: "it [is] considered not important enough to
deal with" ;)
