First of all, it's called "svn:eol-style" (not "eol:style").
Second, it's a file property, not a revision property. You do not
need a pre-revprop-change hook, because you're not going to be
changing a revision property.
Go to a working copy and set the svn:eol-style property of the file
whose line endings you want to specify. For example:
cd working-copy
svn propset svn:eol-style native foo.txt
svn ci -m "foo.txt: setting svn:eol-style to native"
