If the error SVN_ERR_IO_INCONSISTENT_EOL is returned only if there are
no other changes, we could just mark the file as unmodified and ignore
the error. But if the error is returned as soon as inconsistend EOLs are
found without checking the whole file for modifications, then that's not
an option.

Checking the status should never modify a file. At least that was a
consensus a long time ago (with the discussion about 'fixing' file
timestamps with 'svn st' so that unmodified files don't have to be
checked fully every time).
I think it should stay that way ('svn st' *not* modifying/fixing the
file contents).
I'd like to give this issue a high priority. With 'svn st' (more
precise: svn_client_status2()) erroring out, one of the most important
features of TSVN stops working: showing the user a list of modified
files to select from for a commit.
