I dusted off my "Subversion Revisionist" from the great repository
migration of 2007 and discovered that I had already implemented
eol-style normalization for properties there. (Apparently Subclipse on
Windows had been giving us mixed eol-style trouble even back then.)

    revisionist-fixprops.py -p "svn:*" -n < old.dump > new.dump

This does the trick if you're using at least 1.0.1 (which added
globbing in property names).

It's here, if anyone's interested: http://github.com/bpsm/svn-revisionist/
