I consider a file with mixed EOLs to be a binary file.
 If it was a text file then it wouldn't have mixed
EOLs. When I run into this issue on a file I know is
supposed to be text, I can easily fix the issue with
sed or tr or have my editor save with unmixed EOLs.

I don't think that this is something SVN needs. But
if you guys do, by all means implement it.
