If I occasionally need to do a

 git add -kb binary.txt

to flag a file explicitely, that's a small price to pay for everything 
else to work out of the box.

For you, perhaps, since you apparently infrequently commit binary files 
and derive some benefit from CRLF conversion. But please bear in mind 
that there are people on the other end of the spectrum who want the 
opposite (i.e., who could care less about CRLF, but _do_ have binary 
files).

Do not forget the people who say that git is a content tracker (as opposed 
to a content munger).  Git was really intended as a tracker of octet 
strings which are organised in tree structures, and where you can have 
revisions over those tree structures.

That is the beauty of git: it keeps simple things simple.  Now, for some, 
this is a curse ;-)
