crlf=safe [i.e. munging CRLFs only if there are no bare LFs] sounds 
appealing to me as well because it looks like munging that is always 
reversible.

There is a bigger problem here, though: As of now, you can add a (loose) 
object from a big file pretty easily even on a small machine, because you 
do not need the whole buffer, but you stream it to hash-object.  IIRC 
Junio wrote a patch to allow this with "git-add", using fast-import, but 
that patch probably hasn't been applied.

I don't think that crlf=safe requires that the whole file was put into
the buffer. It can work with stream, but it will call die() if a file
that was detected as text has a naked LF.
