If you are on a sane system, you do not even want to pay the price of 
conversion.  Only people on systems with CRLF line endings should pay 
the price (because your aim is to convert on such systems).  Are we 
throwing that out of the window when the project decides to use 
gitattributes?

Well, if you do not want that, why do you set crlf in the gitattributes to 
begin with?

It is not _me_ but the project upstream that needs to interact also with
Windows people who manages gitattributes.  And me personally knows my
editors are not helpful to add CR at the end of lines, so I do not need
the conversion.

That was the situation I had in mind.
