I thought that --list tells me the sum result of all the settings in force; i.e. the final result that should be used here and now.
> Try 'git config --global --list'
I get:  fatal: $HOME not set
Trying again from the "git bash here" shell, I see there is a core.autocrlf=true !
I see it is set in %APPDATA%\..\.gitconfig, which is where MINGW likes to put its per-user data (one level higher than it should be; Unix doesn't distinguish the appdata from the user files so it put it all one level higher where nobody knows to look!)
So, assuming it's been that way (the file is dated March), what's the repository "really" doing?  When things started acting funny, my co-worker found this setting and removed it from his.  If that's not it, I can only wonder why it started showing all-lines-changed ?
