CVS->GIT with CRLF eols in the GIT repository

Hi all,

I have a question about how to convert a "regular" CVS repository to a less 
"regular" GIT one. I am using cvs2git version 2.4.0 on Windows.

The source CVS repo has all files properly marked text-or-binary. Text files 
are stored with LF line endings in the "*,v" files, and are checked out with 
CRLF eols.

The less "regular" requirement for the GIT destination repo is to have 
core.autocrlf=false, no .gitattributes (nor .git/info/attributes), yet have 
text files checkout with CRLF line endings. For this, I suppose I need to 
have those files stored with CRLF eols in the GIT repository itself.

So, the question: can I convince cvs2git to store text files in the 
destination GIT repo with CRLF eols as they are in a CVS checkout, and not 
with LF as they are in the source "*,v" files? If yes, how? I tried 
various --default-eol settings, notably "binary" and "CRLF", but when I 
chekout files from the resulting repo I still get LF if core.autocrlf=false; 
I get CRLFs only if I set core.autocrlf=true.

In case someone is curios why I want this:

I'm trying to use GitEye <http://www.collab.net/giteyeapp> which, if I 
understood correctly, is EGit/JGit separated from the rest of Eclipse and 
with some CollabNet stuff in. EGit/JGit do not implement .gitattributes, nor 
do they have a way to override the automatic text-vs-binary guesswork. And 
unsurprisingly that guesswork fails with some of my files so these get 
damaged if I set core.autocrlf=true. I have to set core.autocrlf=false, but 
then all text files are checked out with LF and I want CRLF (I'm on 
Windows).

Thanks in advance for any help,
sags
