I see 2 other options:

1. Create a custom setup of msysgit that has core.autocrlf set to false.

2. You are still converting repositories? Convert the files in your
repository to LF. I did it like this, but it was a week -or more- worth of
labor to get the scripts in a shape that I could reproduce the conversion
(and it all happened before core.autocrlf even existed).
