Concur. I am not sure that your course of action in CR/LF is the best
one. It seems that it relies to a big part on Unix checkouts changing
their config settings, but I might be wrong.
I use my proposed default on Mac OS X and it helps. I have
core.autocrlf=input, core.safecrlf=warn, and recognized quite a
few problems early, which I had not recognized with the current
Unix defaults.
I pretty convinced that you can't handle cross platform projects
in a sane way without changing the defaults on Unix.
