Whichever code it is, it's doing the wrong thing. The text base should
be converted to WC style, not the other way around, otherwise you won't
notice newline-only changes.

Oh, duh -- that would make keyword expansions cause problems for us
again. What a bore. Hmm, maybe the conversion from WC style to text-base
style should notice if the WC file line endings aren't consistent with
what's declared in svn:eol-style?
