You do not have to worry.

That's how "crlf" is defined.  Paths you explicitly say !crlf
will _not_ go through the existing core.autocrlf mechanism.

"* crlf" just says, by default everybody is subject to core.autocrlf,
and on sane platforms, core.autocrlf is by default off, hence you will
not get LF <-> CRLF applied.
