Actually, no: if you wanted to commit that, you would get an error
"inconsistent line endings" and the commit would abort.
But if you do an update, then the EOLs will be 'fixed' to native (or
whatever you've set with svn:eol-style).

That's very, very strange. Whenever I try this, I can see the different
EOL markers in TMerge.
