This was a decision made a loooooooong time ago that, IMO, should be
changed. The point was that CVS users didn't know about properties,
so when they modified a file, we'd show an underbar if the file had
properties--even if the properties weren't modified.

So if you do a proplist on the file in question:

pantheon:~/svn-work/subversion/$ svn proplist doc/handbook/repos_admin.texi
Properties on 'doc/handbook/repos_admin.texi':
  svn:eol-style

You'll see that it has a property set. Does that make sense?

Anyway, if you wouldn't mind submitting a patch to eliminate that, I'll
be glad to commit it if no one has any objections.
