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.
