Wow, this is an incredible response: I expected I was going to be
studying git internals for a while to get to this point. Thank you!
The ternary value is definitely useful. As noted elsewhere, most tools
on windows are very happy with \n ending, few honor those line endings
when files are modified, and fewer still allow the user to specify use
of \n for new files. However, cygwin tools in particular are not
tolerant of crlf, so for that environment it makes sense to banish crlf
and the input-only option is most likely the best default setting there.
