Git * text = auto in gitattributes file and line ending

Question

Based on this post: What is the purpose of `text = auto` in the` .gitattributes` file? the end of the line is converted to LF for text files if the following is in the .gitattributes file:

* text=auto

I just tested this in a local repository:

$ git add -A
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in [bla]/.gitattributes.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in [bla]/.gitignore.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in [bla]/README.md.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in [bla].csproj.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in 

But it says that it converts to CRLF . The above message says that it converts to LF , which does not match this test.

So it seems that:

* text=auto

will be converted to the final OS-based line type (CRLF for Windows and LF for Linux). But this is not what is described here:

.gitattributes:
