Cloned project contains changes [message #893340]

So, I've been fighting git's newline-autofix-features all day. Initially I was having trouble making a clean clone using command line git. 'git status' showed files had changed and 'git diff' hinted it had something to do with the automagic line ending fixes that git makes. I fixed this by --globally setting core.autocrlf=native and core.whitespace=cr-at-eol and cloning the project once again.

Five minutes later I clone the same project in EGit and EGit tells me the files are modified when they are not. Any input? Just a push in any direction would do.

Additional things:

If it wasn't for the fact that I was running Eclipse Juno with EGit-2.0.0.201206130900-r I would guess I am experiencing this as mentioned in this thread. However, that bug seems to be fixed in 2.0-final, which I am running.
Eclipse file compare shows no differences.
command line 'git status' in the same EGit project tells me no modified files exists.
Window > Preferences > Team > Git > Configuration shows the correct (core.autocrlf and core.whitespace) config settings.
I also tried setting the *.jsp file type to binary in Window > Preferences > Team > File Content which was my last hope. Does not seem to help anything.
