I cloned a repository (with files with CRLF) on my windows using GitHub 2.7.0.24. Then I wanted to use my cygwin's git version 2.1.4 on it.

I edited .git/config by adding "autocrlf=true" under the [core] section. (With a real tabulation before "autocrlf=true")

Now cygwin's git says I'm up to date with no modifications.

I keep the CRLF on the files because they were created that way on the original repository.

I will not use the GitHub application anymore...
