You can just set it to 'input' if you want to. It's not just on/off, you
can also say "I want to check out with no conversion (ie "just LF"), but
convert CRLF to LF on input".
Btw, one thing to keep in mind with autocrlf is the "auto" part: it tries
to do a good job noticing when something is text vs binary, but it _is_ a
heuristic. I think it's a pretty good one, but if you do set autocrlf
(whether to "true" or to "input"), at least think about attributes ("man
gitattributes")
