There are config options `core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but my impression was that Iceberg was somehow bypassing them?

Not stricly related, or maybe yes, but years ago in InfOil we started
using Dolphin Smalltalk PAX format[1] for packages with Git, and we used
that setting to store code in the repo, we didn't have any issues

The .gitattributes contained this:
*.img binary
*.chg binary
*.sml binary
OurImage.img merge=ours
OurImage.chg merge=ours
*.pax eol=lf
*.cls eol=lf

.pax was the "package definition" and "method extensions" (methods not
belonging to the package) file.
.cls was the 1 file per class+class-side used by this scheme

Even we did everything in Windows for some reason I don't remember (+5
yrs ago) LF was better for Gitlab. What I also don't remember is if
during the checkout in the Gitlab CI some conversion was used or not. I
don't remember a lot of things, but I can ask them if you want.

But I can confirm that this "trick" does work.

Git for Windows even asks you if you want to automatically convert CRLF
to LF during checkin and back to CRLF on checkout.
