Not necessarily. But I don't think we want core.autocrlf on by default
for all platforms. So the decision needs to be made on a platform by
platform basis. The cleanest way to do that (in my opinion) is through a
system-level configuration file. But git built from src does not
distribute such a configuration file at all; that seems to be in the
scope of package distributors.
