After requesting this as

upstream, so here I am.

I would like a text=input feature added that has the same behavior as
text=auto, except that it defaults to core.autocrlf=input behavior
instead of core.autocrlf=true. 
If you want to normailze your repo, and keep it normalized,
I can  recommend to use .gitattributes.

Please see the excellent page here:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitattributes.html
And especially this part:

$ echo "* text=auto" >>.gitattributes
$ rm .git/index     # Remove the index to force git to
$ git reset         # re-scan the working directory
$ git status        # Show files that will be normalized
$ git add -u
$ git add .gitattributes
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
