I see it too, and I've been meaning to submit a bug on it...
Properties don't get converted back to CRLF for editing on Windows (XP
Pro in my case). Doing some quick tests suggests this is only for
properties svn parses. I've seen it on svn:ignore and svn:externals,
but I tried it just now with foo and all was fine.
With svn:ignore, I do an svn propedit svn:ignore folder4, make a
multi-line edit (using Notepad) and save. I then run the command again
(don't even need to commit) and already it's Unix format.
