My bad, I did not append full thoughts. git-hash-object DOES autocrlf 
convertion but  it cant do it correctly. All it can do - is to autodetect 
text files. My setup has .git/info/attributes file where all files but .cpp 
and .h are binary. While .cpp and .h are text files. In this case 
git-hash-object do not know the real file name as far as git-svn use 
temporary files.

I dont think that disabling convertion is a good way. I really want to convert 
my files. Possible solution is to pass two file names to git-hash-object: the 
real file with content and the proposed file name in the working directory. 
In this case git-hash-object will be able to make correct convertion.
