Even if you add it as a revision property, I doubt it would have any effect on anything.

Checkout the dir in question and run 'svn setprop svn:eol-style native' on the desired files, followed by a check-in.

It would be nice to have a 'svn propset' that works on URLs (with an implicit commit) in much the same way that 'svn mv' or 'svn copy' do.

You can set the config file in ~/subversion/.config or %userprofile%\application data\subversion\config to automatically set the svn:eol-style for _newly_ created files.

However, it's left as an exercise to the reader to actually push a standardized config file to all your subversion clients. So you might want to make friends with your unix/windows system admin. =/
