convert crlf to eol on vendor branch overlay

My vendor gave me a tarball with all CRLF eol's. I'm using the vendor-branch overlay method (git ls-files -z | xargs -0 rm -f && tar -xvzf tarfile.tar.gz). How do I convert the eol's to LF?

I tried this:

vi .git/attributes SRC/*/* text (convert these to LF eol on commit)

$ git config core.eol lf (convert "text" attr files to LF eol on checkout)

$ git add . -A $ git commit -m'convert eol' (should convert CRLF to LF) $ git checkout otherbranch (change worktree) $ git checkout vendorbranch (checkout worktree from commit to get LF version) $ git reset HEAD^ (remove commit but keep worktree LF version) $ git diff (still CRLF) $ git status (still show everything as modified due to CRLF)
