maybe you can also add remarks about autocrlf and safecrlf?
both need to be off

From my experience thats not necessarily true. You can use
autocrlf=input to repair broken revisions were crlf's have been
mistakenly committed into the repository. And if I remember correctly
safecrlf helps if you want to make sure that no information gets lost.

So when importing from a nice correct cvs repository you would expect
safecrlf to not stop your import. And I suspect there are actually cvs
users that were very careful with their lineendings who would use it.

If you look at this thread:

you'll see why I said it. I did some testing to prove my statement.
