for i in $(svnlook changed -t $TXN $REPOS); do
  if propget = native || propget = LF ; then
    svnlook cat -t $TXN $REPOS $i | xxd -c1 -p | grep -i 0d
  fi
done

And writing that made me realise... "contains CR" is such a simple
condition, that you don't need the fulltext for it --- you would be able
to implement it by looking at the "literal new text" segments within
svndiff streams directly. However, I'm not quite sure whether this
observation is the key to a simple implementation or to an
unnecessarily-complicated one.
