I've already tried

[core]
  autoCRLF = true

in the global gitconfig under Windows. After git clone an immediate git diff shows every line changed in certain files:

diff --git a/c_crlf_text.txt b/c_crlf_text.txt
index 3b0a76f..3473745 100644
--- a/c_crlf_text.txt
+++ b/c_crlf_text.txt
@@ -1,5 +1,5 @@
-z1
-z2
-z3
-z4
-
+z1
+z2
+z3
+z4

file * on Windows:
c___lf_text.txt;  ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
c_crlf_text.txt;  ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators


file * on Linux
c_crlf_text.txt:  ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
c___lf_text.txt:  ASCII text

I don't know if this behaviour is supposed to be correct,
but to me it seems to be wrong.

git version 1.6.5.1.1367.gcd48
