It seems to me to be the expected behavior. You committed a file whose
line endings are not normalized to LF in the repository, and asked for a
conversion LF -> CRLF on checkout, which Git did.

Git can't know exactly the moment when you edit .gitattributes, so it
can't do the conversion at the time you add the eol=crlf attribute. It
does it on checkout.

I'd say 0a (LF) was replaced by 0d0a (CRLF).

What behavior would you have expected?
