Why don't you try it and see what happens?

It should "just work": Subversion should normalise the linefeeds to
the format you indicate in svn:eol-style.

If it doesn't work for you, please show us the command you executed
and the error message you got.

I believe the only time when Subversion complains regarding the
svn:eol-style property is when the file contains more than one kind
of EOL style -- for example, most of the file uses Unix linefeeds,
but some lines are separated with DOS linefeeds. In this case,
Subversion will balk and you'll have to make the file have consistent
linefeeds first. We get this occasionally when some of our developers
have forgotten to set some important settings properly in UltraEdit.
