Sorry I have lost the mind flow here.

1. We 'fetch' files from svn as is. Yes, we know that svn use delta to rebuild 
original file.
2. We commit file to git. Right here we use git-hash-object. As I understand 
we _have_ to do convertion CRLF->LF here.
3. In some days we will checkout file from git and wil do LF->CRLF convertion.

I thought this is a right workflow. 
- We could store original file too at step 2 somwhow to be able to use delta 
at step 1.
- We can't skip convertion at step 2. Overwise git will store files with CRLF.

Am I wrong ?
