autocrlf=input to repair broken revisions were crlf's have been mistakenly committed into the repository. And if I remember correctly safecrlf helps if you want to make sure that no information gets lost.

So when importing from a nice correct cvs repository you would expect safecrlf to not stop your import. And I suspect there are actually cvs users that were very careful with their lineendings who would use it.
