The point is: if we use /etc/gitconfig, we also touch _existing_ 
setups (as Junio pointed out).  Which, in the case of autocrlf, is 
not desirable.

I proposed a mechanism that would avoid such problems in the future.

Yes, but your solution feels a bit limited and "hot-needled" for just 
one purpose.

What limits do you mean (except that it does still break existing 
msysgit setups; but would avoid this problem in the future)?

I have the impression that a problem just like this will arise again, just 
not with corelf, but with another setting that the admin might want to 
set per default in git-init, but the user might want to override.

Ciao,
