This is what happens in real live, and what we try to describe:
#On a Windows box:
mkdir test_repo
cd test_repo
git init
git config core.autocrlf false
printf 'REM my first BAT file\r\n' >test.bat
printf 'REM exit' >>test.bat
git add test.bat
git commit -m "Add test.bat"

git ls-files --eol
# Something in this style:
i/crlf w/crlf attr/            test.bat

Now the file has been commited with CRLF.

Does this answer the question ?
