Per file configurable eol-style transformations with Git?

Hi,

we have projects that contain text files that need to
have different end-of-line sequences, depending on the
type of file, and depending on the operating system where
they are checked out.

There are files that have

 - LF line breaks on each platform,
 - CR LF line breaks on each platform, or
 - either LF or CR LF line breaks, depending on the
   platform's native end-of-line style.

With Subversion, the correct behaviour in checkouts, commits,
diffs, or merges can easily be achieved by setting the appropriate
svn:eol-style [*].

As I understand the Git documentation there's no such concept as a
repository end-of-line style, or as an end-of-line transformation
between repository and working copy.

So I wonder if it is possible to mimic Subversion's end-of-line handling
with Git, especially for the svn:eol-style=native.
