This is not exactly true, at least not for the Git on Windows installer, 
which presents you with the three possible choices for handling line 
endings.

Also, I am not quite sure if this deserves the label »data corruption«, 
because even if you have auto-conversion of line endings turned on and 
Git fails to auto-detect a file as binary, no history data is corrupted 
and you can fix the problem by just switching off auto-conversion 
(either globally or just for the file in question via gitattributes) – 
in contrast to actual history/database corruption.
