Well, I think the real issue is simply that most the main git developers 
do development on architectures where CRLF just isn't an issue.

So it's not that autocrlf is a "second cousin", it's that

 - CRLF is stupid to begin with, and slightly anathemical to the git 
   worldview of trying to be as exact as possible.

 - ..and almost nobody in the git community is actually affected, so 
   people don't even notice when it's an issue.

People who actually care and use crlf are probably best off sending in 
test-cases for particular behaviour they notice.
