If Git decides that the content is text, its line endings are converted to LF on checkin. > "When the file has been committed with CRLF, no conversion is done." This is what happens in real live, and what we try to describe: #On a Windows box: mkdir test_repo cd test_repo git init git config core.autocrlf false printf 'REM my first BAT file\r\n' >test.bat printf 'REM exit' >>test.bat git add test.bat git commit -m "Add test.bat" git ls-files --eol # Something in this style: i/crlf w/crlf attr/ test.bat Now the file has been commited with CRLF. Does this answer the question ?
