I don't want to discourage from digging into this problem, but there are
two reasons why no one has fixed this issue yet. First, configuration
CRLF conversion in Git and SVN is quite different, so it may not be easy
to have the solution that will work in all cases. Second, in many cases,
you can workaround this issue.

If I understood your situation correctly, you use SVN repo where text
files are marked with svn:eol-style=native. In this case, SVN stores
these files with LF endings internally, and git-svn receives files in
that format (at least, it is so on Debian).  Practically all Windows
editors do not have problems to open and edit files with LF endings, but
some of them will write back using CRLF. You do not want CRLF to get in
your Git repository, so you can do that by setting core.autocrlf=input.
This might work for you...
