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...

I think I actually suggested something like that.  But that gets only even 
more complicated: if you have a template for .git/config in 
$HOME/.gittemplates/, then the global template will be _disregarded_, even 
if the administrator puts something vital in there.

Maybe the best idea would be an "init" hook, settable from the config, 
after all.
