That's not making any sense to me now. What's the output of
$ git config core.autocrlf
for you?
yes, returns input.

Then one last try, whats the output for core.eol ?
Should be "lf", but if it's set to "crlf" or "cr", that would explain
why everything gets converted to non-"lf" line endings on checkout, in
combination with the patch which added the .gitattributes file.
Also means that that file has an error in it, as R scripts apparently
shouldn't be converted at all, but LF line endings must be enforced for
these in order to function properly. text=auto isn't applicable for R
files, it should have been explicitly eol=lf for *.r and *.R, as well,
and explicit eol=crlf for *.bat.
Unfortunately, git currently does not support forced overriding of
core.eol via magic files, and text=auto is still required to ensure that
all text files are converted to LF line endings on checkin.
"* eol=lf" in .gitattributes would break all binary files, and
"* text=auto eol=lf" isn't supported yet.
So core.eol needs to be set by each developer locally.
