why: see https://stackoverflow.com/a/20653073/2249526

Solution

If you already have checked out the code, the files are already indexed. After changing your git settings, say by running:

git config --global core.autocrlf input

you should refresh the indexes with

git rm --cached -r .

and re-write git index with

git reset --hard

Note: this is will remove your local changes, consider stashing them before you do this.
