core.autocrlf is a configuration setting for . It controls whether or not automatic conversion of line-endings should happen in the working directory.

In the manual for git-config, the option is described like this:

Setting this variable to "true" is almost the same as setting the text attribute to "auto" on all files except that text files are not guaranteed to be normalized: files that contain CRLF in the repository will not be touched. Use this setting if you want to have CRLF line endings in your working directory even though the repository does not have normalized line endings. This variable can be set to input, in which case no output conversion is performed.

With core.autocrlf=true, why does git log -p show ^M line endings?

Deleted line does not have this ending. Only the added one. Am I missing another setting? Is CRLF in the repo? Commit was created by IDE, I use default git+bash installation on Windows for git log.
