I don't know if there are other options that might impact how clone
works, but something like the patch below might make sense. It would
allow:
git clone -c core.autocrlf=true ...
Note that the patch should not be applied; it doesn't handle values with
whitespace (and hopefully builtin clone will come soon after v1.5.4,
which would make doing it right much simpler).
