Your vote seems to be based on a misunderstanding. In 3a, diffs made by
svn would be made between newline-translated copies of the revisions, so
they would not reflect newline flip-flops.

Flip-flops in the repository have only two negative consequences: larger
repository size, and possible problems with non-Subversion DAV tools
(which might have problems regardless).
