Any other value set to `crlf` attribute is ignored and git acts
as if the attribute is left unspecified.

I think that a better option would be that if it's set to a string value, that 
string value is treated as if core.autocrlf was set to that value.

in the long run this would let you phase out the core.autocrlf option entirely, 
letting the bahavior be specified in gitattributes.
