I wonder what we are really trying to address here. Or in other words could the original poster maybe tell what Windows IDE's that does not handle UNIX files properly? core git today should not care about CRLF as opposed to LF end-of-line as long as the end-of-line is consistent - correct? So defaulting to autoCRLF in Windows/DOS environments was maybe sane 10 years ago but today that seems to be the wrong thing to do. For certain project the option could be useful if the tool-set in the project *requires* CRLF, but if the toolset like all modern toolset supports both CRLF and LF then git better avoid changing end-of-line marker.
I've actually run into grief on this subject with perl scripts within the last year (files from windows systems with crlf not working cleanly on a linux system with just lf)
