[RFC] 1.4.x platform dependent blame output

Hi!

As part of solving issue #2431 (blame ignores svn:eol-style), blame
now gives different output for (some eol) -> native svn:eol-style
changes. Brane, Lundblad and I all agree this is not correct.

There is also another issue: I actually think blame output is client
output (like svn status) rather than raw output (like svn cat). This
means the issue is invalid and needs no fixing: we just need to make
sure we generate the right platform specific eols.

The data passed to the blame callback is insufficiently defined to
guarantee the right platform specific eol style, because it doesn't
say whether the file-eols are in- or excluded from the line data. In
practice, we pass CRs when the eol style is CRLF.

If the eol style is CR we give completely broken results: the full
file is passed as line 1.

I'd like your comments to this:

- blame output is 'client output', not 'raw output'
- blame output should be the same for all platforms
- we should fix the callback to use the right eol style
- we should fix the line data to be better defined
- all the above needs to be done before 1.4.0 final (I have the patches)

Thanks for your comments!

bye,

Erik.
