CRLF conversions not supported when running under GVFS even when core.autocrlf = false

[pmsjt]

I am getting the error message

Error: Could not complete checkout of branch: master, fatal: CRLF conversions not supported when running under GVFS

Despite having set

git config core.autocrlf
false

Any reason why the error remained despite having line end conversions disabled?

The issue here is that your .gitattributes needs to specify that crlf conversions shouldn't happen for any files. This is specified in the README:

Your repo must have a .gitattributes file in the root that includes the line * -text
