Description
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?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the master-branch checkout under GVFS with core.autocrlf set to false, then trace the checkout path that emits the reported CRLF-conversion error. Determine why the configuration is still rejected and document or correct the behavior, with a regression check showing the expected result.
