Yes you can if you commit files that should be CRLF/LF as CRLF/LF in the 
repo in the first place and use binary mode (-crlf) always, which is my 
proposal for official.

There's aren't any files that I am aware of that would need to be CRLF 
in cygwin and LF in native, or LF in cygwin and CRLF in native (unless 
you consider that Notepad should be used to edit files that are meant to 
be LF'd in the first place, like UNIX shell scripts. If despite the fact 
that MS project files are text files, we agree that these should  better 
be CRLF'd, I don't see how we could fail to agree that despite the fact 
that UNIX .sh or autotools .am/.ac are text files, they should be LF 
always - especially as we've demonstrated 3 different issues with non 
LF'd ones)

If you think that this is not achievable, then you have to agree that 
you don't believe that git not respect binary settings that ENSURE that 
you can actually mix cygwin with native Windows, and therefore, that git 
is flawed. Otherwise, there IS very much an alternative.
