Setting the "autocrlf" Git option is an overkill since it's rarely
actually needed. More importantly, it has quite the impact on
performance (see gitlab-org/gitlab-ce#13457 for more information).
By setting "autocrlf" when creating or updating files we guarantee the
option is always set properly when we actually need it _without_
introducing overhead for requests that have nothing to do with this
option.
