Working copies are supposed to be portable. Making working copies only
portable between identical platforms will cause confusion.

Would it be worthwhile adding a "converted style" flag to the entries
file? Then, if a working copy is moved from one platform to another,
at least svn could detect that the converted style was wrong, and
re-convert to native on 'svn up'. (in a first pass it could just bail
out).
