(Assuming that these names should say ‘eol’, not ‘eof’, throughout
your message.)

I shouldn't presume that I get a vote, but: +1 on the idea of separate
config options for the distinct concepts.

The names might be better, though, if it was clear that *neither* of
them is the one true EOL setting. One for the working tree, one for
the repository: ‘tree-eol’, ‘repo-eol’, perhaps.
