"core.autocrlf=false" is the safest setting, but according to this thread:

	http://kerneltrap.com/mailarchive/git/2010/3/4/24918/thread

git-svn works with core.autocrlf now.  The fix was included in git 1.7.1.

To answer your question, you will end up with the correct line endings in your Subversion repository if the svn:eol-style property is set to "native" for all text files, regardless of how git is configured.  If the property is not set, you should turn off autocrlf.
