During a 'visual' diff converting both files to (LF) or ignoring eols
will not fix all the problems with eols.

When users try to copy a piece of code from the diff application it will
only contain a (LF) eol which will cause problems when it gets pasted in
other windows applications.

This is my real problem, my application *does* support 'ignore eol
difference' but it will break the copy/paste to other windows applications
And a partial (undo) pristine copy to the working copy may result in a
couple of wrong eols in the working copy?

I'm not a TortoiseSVN dev, but wouldn't converting the pristine-eols to
working-eols solve this problem(s)? Are there any drawbacks on this?
