I help maintain the cygwin packaging of git, and I don't particularly like 
patch 1/6.  Cygwin very much recommends that users stick with binary mounts, 
where cr's are not inserted/stripped by default, and enabling autocrlf in that 
situation is asking for problems...
Ok, thanks for the comments; I won't touch this for now myself, with
objections and concerns from people working on windows (you on Cygwin
side, and Dscho on msysgit side).
Just to make sure I do not cause misunderstanding, I did not mean I won't
touch this ever; I obviously meant "...until the concerns raised by windows
people are addressed to their satisfaction, as they are much better judge
than I am on this topic."
