There are files that should not have their content translated, even if
it does happen to look like a ^M. Maybe there aren't any in your tree
(if you only have source code, that's likely), but you can start with
"anything binary." That seems to rule out the "find/perl" trick.

The switch to "svn up" is interesting, so long as it only affects
handling of things with svn:eol-style=native. Might be better if its
name had 'native' in it, or 'platform' ... "--eol-style-platform=unix",
perhaps?

If there were such a switch, I think it should be cached so that the
sequence

        svn up --eol-style-platform=unix
        svn up

Would get unix line endings both times; if you change your mind, you'd
need an explicit reuse of --eol-style-platform.

And that means it needs a "return to normal processing" value, in
addition to the explicit possibilities. Or, maybe that's "native".

And it should be cached on a per-file basis.

And this is getting pretty complicated....
