So I at least agree with the semantics now, but I think that we really 
would be better off just calling it "core.crlf". I don't _care_ whether 
people think it's a bad name - much worse than a bad name is to use a name 
that is not consistent. 

Having two config variables named "core.autocrlf" and "core.crlf" at least 
is consistent. Having "autocrlf" and "eolStyle" is just messed up.
