I am sorry I missed this discussion. In this case, I believe that the
idea of templates should be extended, so any user may have his/her own
templates in $HOME/.gittemplates. IMHO, it makes much more sense than
making an exception for autocrlf in builtin-init-db.c and breaking
existing repositories...
