That would have to be supported in the subversion library, like
svn:eol-style, and I don't think that will ever happen. It is not the
job of a version control system to change your files! The only reason
svn:eol-style is there is for multi-platform support.

You could add your own trailing space stripper as part of a pre-commit
or start-commit hook. The problem is that in changing the files it may
also change the modified status one way or the other.
