I tried real hard to make 
http://gergap.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/git-crlf-hook/ work, but for some 
reason I couldn't get the update hook to run at all - even when I 
inserted an "exit 1" on the first line.

My procedure: copy the file into .git/hooks/update, make some changes, 
commit, and push to my github repo. The update hook never runs.

I did get the pre-commit script to run, but I couldn't find a pre-commit 
hook for crlf on the net and I don't have the time to investigate 
writing one.
