If the primary target is native Windows projects that wants CRLF in the work tree, you could still set core.autocrlf. Your checkouts will be with CRLF. And someday perhaps somebody may offer porting that to UNIX and his checkout will be without CR. So wouldn't the categorization be more like this? - "real cross-platform" would want core.autocrlf = true; - "native Windows" can work either way; - "originated from UNIX" would be helped with core.autocrlf = true;
