It does not look to be true. I did the following test:

mkdir hash_test
cd hash_test
git init

cat <<\=== > hash_test.pl
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use File::Temp qw/tempfile/;

my ($tmp_fh, $tmp_filename) = File::Temp::tempfile(UNLINK => 1);
print $tmp_fh "Hi\r\n";
$tmp_fh->flush;
system ("echo $tmp_filename | git hash-object --stdin-paths");
===

git config core.autocrlf true
perl hash_test.pl
git config core.autocrlf false
perl hash_test.pl


and the output was
b14df6442ea5a1b382985a6549b85d435376c351
ea6b6afbc2cbed0eb8c0f7561286ab72f349416c

which means that the autocrlf conversion is done for temporary
files created by perl. (I tested it on Linux and Windows/Cygwin).

In any case, I believe the right solution should be adding a
new option to git-hash-object to disable any conversion.
