If the repair flag is not set, the EOL translation is a reversible
transformation; if you accidentally commit a binary file with
svn:eol-style=native, then you can get the original contents back by
checking it out again on the same platform.

However, if the repair flag is set, the EOL translation is
data-destroying.

When we discussed this before (see the list archives--long thread,
though), we were concerned about accidentally destroying data when
svn:eol-style=native, but felt that fixed eol-styles were specialized
enough that they were very unlikely to accidentally appear on binary
files.
