I also do think that maybe we could just change the existing crlf

Btw, another option might be to start searching ".gitconfig", but only 
allow a certain "safe subset" of config options in that. Things that can 
really be about the project itself, and not per-user or per-repository.

And parse it before ~/.gitconfig and .git/config, so that people can 
always override it.

I dunno. Looking at the config options, there really aren't a lot of them 
that make sense on a project scale. There's a few, though. Things like

	core.autocrlf
	i18n.commitEnconfig

and possibly others..
