We already have templates for different hooks, info/exclude, etc. So, 
instead of placing autocrlf in /etc/gitconfig, you should place this 
variable to /usr/share/git/templates/config and this file should be 
copied by git init or git clone as any other file in templates.

I thought we discussed that already?  And the consensus was that this does 
not allow for per-user overriding.

I am sorry I missed this discussion. In this case, I believe that the
idea of templates should be extended, so any user may have his/her own
templates in $HOME/.gittemplates. IMHO, it makes much more sense than
making an exception for autocrlf in builtin-init-db.c and breaking
existing repositories...
