I do not know. There have been lots of different conversations about

latter has not happened, but it is possible things like setting the
svn:eol-style have been made to take precedence. If it doesn't, I
think it is worth raising it on the users@ list.

Possibly, but that is a pre-1.0 enhancement. It does not seem like
anyone is considering it.
