How do I force gitGit to use LF instead of CR+LF under windowsWindows?

I want to force gitGit to checkoutcheck out files under Windows using just LF not CR+LF. I
I checked the two configuration options, but I was not able to find the right combination of settings.

I want it to convert all files to have LF line breaks and keep the LF onin the files.

Remark: I used autocrlf = input but this just repairs the files when you commit them. I
I want to force it to get them using LF.

Probably I wasn't so clear: the the repository is already using LF but the files checked out using msysgit Git for Windows are using CR+LF and and I want to force msysgitGit to get them with LF: forcing Unix line endings.

>git$ git config --list | grep crlf core.autocrlf=input
