Not really. What you've committed has mixed line endings. The
eol-style properties will convert line endings but not if they are
mixed. With no eol-style set, Subversion doesn't care what sort of line
endings you have, but a web-browser might do.

1) Use something like dos2unix / unix2dos to convert the line endings of
the file, you will then have consistent throughout.
2) re apply the property
3) commit

Unless eclipse is changing your line endings it should be OK from there on.
