No, you don't need anything except removing all of these settings.
The defaults are exactly what you want, when these settings are
absent.

> git config --system --unset core.autocrlf cd /path/to/project/fmtcount
> git config --local --bool -add core.autocrlf true cd
> /path/to/project/emacs git config --local --bool -add core.autocrlf
> false

The last one is not needed.

I don't have it, and never felt the need.
