It most definitely does something. Please have another look at https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-project/commit/inspect-newlines and the output of the log at https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-project/actions/runs/11407224268/job/31742748818.

First we do a checkout without setting anything. We get files with CRLF. Then we set `core.autocrlf` to `false`, which is the common way of dealing with this, then we do another checkout, and we get files with LF.

Do you dispute the above?
