I think that is up to your platform packaging, I think. I think msysgit
is shipping with core.autocrlf on by default these days. But again, I
don't know very much about that area.

Are you saying that only my platform's packager can decide what options are 
enabled by default, and that you upstream folks have no influence at all?  :)

Not necessarily. But I don't think we want core.autocrlf on by default
for all platforms. So the decision needs to be made on a platform by
platform basis. The cleanest way to do that (in my opinion) is through a
system-level configuration file. But git built from src does not
distribute such a configuration file at all; that seems to be in the
scope of package distributors.
