Check if you have no .gitattributes file

As mentioned in the "Effect" section of the gitattributes man page, those files can also have an effect on eol and automatic transformation:

This attribute enables and controls end-of-line normalization.

To control what line ending style is used in the working directory, use the eol attribute for a single file and the core.eol configuration variable for all text files.

Check also your config for core.eol, as mentioned in "How line ending conversions work with git core.autocrlf between different operating systems".
