as a user, I expect a SCM to only modify a file when I have explicitly
asked it to do so. Automatically conversion by guessing file types are
evil, as they _will_ go wrong, and then mess some files.
This "intelligent" file handling is a pain to use. You end up in
situations were builds work on some platforms but not on others, which
gets even more confusion with NFS home directories.
So, please do not enable core.autocrlf by default on Windows. It might
be reasonable for some projects, but not for all of them, and it will
break some projects. Perhaps a project should be able to enable (or
"suggest" it) in a repo-wide setting somehow, which would avoid the git
clone problem.
