That behaviour should perhaps be kept for svn_client_blame2() for backward
compatibility, though if it's not documented we can call it a bug and fix it.

That behaviour certainly does not need to be kept as an option in
svn_client_blame3().

 From an API point of view, that sounds too messy. Just pick a good interface
(either one that returns the EOLs, or one that doesn't) and stick with it. I
don't see the need for a run-time option.
