50% Serious Newline conversion suggestion

What if we just did something a bit simpler:

1. Do not provide automatic newline conversion.

2. At commit time, compare the newlines used on the edited files with
    those in text-base, and if the style differs, error "Newline style
    has changed. To override, use --force, else please restore the
    file to its original newline convention."

3. Optional: provide an 'svn newline' subcommand which will perform
    the restoration.

No, I haven't thought this out. Yes, you will find 150 ways to shoot
it down. No, I'm not going to read those 150 ways. :-)
