Everything I've read online tells me this should not be possible:

C:\Users\eric_\Code\range-v3>git add conanfile.py.in
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in conanfile.py.in.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.

C:\Users\eric_\Code\range-v3>git config core.autocrlf
false

Why can't I get git to ignore line endings in files?

EDIT: I have a .gitattributes file in that directory, with the following:

*.hpp text
*.cpp text
*.txt text
*.html text
*.md text
*.yml text
*.xml text
*.in text
.gitattributes text
.gitignore text

*.cmd -text
*.sln -text
*.vcxproj -text
*.vcxproj.filters -text

Do you have a `.gitattributes` file in that repository? – Lasse V. Karlsen May 16 '17 at 20:48
Yes, I've updated my question with the contents of the `.gitattributes` file. – Eric Niebler May 16 '17 at 21:24

Your `.gitattributes` overrides your `core.autocrlf`, which is old and should not be relied upon. Your `.gitattributes` specifies `text`, which means that CRLF conversion should be performed. If you don't want that, set `-text`. – Edward Thomson May 16 '17 at 23:06
