I'm working on it now, and did some more testing: it's actually the safecrlf setting, not the autocrlf option. Which leaves me with some questions of what to do exactly:

 autocrlf safecrlf
1 false    false
2 false     warn
3 false     true
4 input    false
5 input     warn
6 input     true
7 true     false
8 true      warn
9 true      true

1- git ignores the safecrlf flag; obviously acceptable 2- git ignores the safecrlf flag; so acceptable 3- git ignores the safecrlf flag, so acceptable 4- seems acceptable to me 5- seems acceptable to me 6- unacceptable 7- seems acceptable to me 8- seems acceptable to me 9- unacceptable

So, 6 and 9 (safecrlf==true) are definitely unacceptable. 1-3 are definitely acceptable. How about the others? Should these produce warnings? Should the user use a 'force' option to make the import work (and acknowledge that he's calling for trouble) Should we enforce some setting? Which flags/setting?

Input appreciated :-)
