Why couldn't I discard a file from my working directory in Git?

Question

I have a modified file in a Git working directory which I want to discard. This file is not in a submodule.

I tried 3 different commands and nothing helped.

How to discard that file?

I did short and it gave me no error. And didn't discard as you saw on screenshot — Alexey Strakh, Jul 17 '14 at 02:19
I have this option set to true intentionally because of cross-platform team — Alexey Strakh, Jul 17 '14 at 02:47

As long as you set git config --global core.autocrlf true, you will see changes applied automatically to those file.

I would recommend:

setting core.autocrlf to false
adding a core.eol directive in a .gitattributes file for the specific files or types of files you want to be handled (in term of EOL style).
