Many thanks
for some reason I thought the core.autocrlf worked both ways (ie also checked
out using LF only on *nix).
Forcing a checkout made no difference, however given your comments I changed
.gitattributes to
*.sh eol=lf
ie (removed text), which had the desired effect.
Its not clear to me how or if 'text' and 'eol' should be used together. The
description at https://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes suggest they can be used
together, although the examples show them used separately.
Looks like GIT had assumed the *.sh file was not a text file in this instance.

There has been a recent patch series looking into some of the LF - CRLF
checkout issues [1], though it may not address your direct issues.
The different communities don't exactly agree what 'normalisation' should mean.
The general important point being that what is in the commit (in the
repository) stays in the commit. If you want something different (in the
repository) it's a new commit.
