Do "svn proplist -v" or "svn propget svn:eol-style" to see what the EOL
style is on the imported files. I suspect it's not set at all, so you
get the files exactly as checked in.

You should just be able to "svn propset svn:eol-style native" for each
of the files. Then checkin. Then do a checkout or update, and the
files should have native line endings.

This is all in the svn book.
