Subversion will do this if you set the property svn:eol-style to a value
of native for each file that you want to do this. However, doing so will
mess up your blame output unless all of the files are already stored with
LF line endings in the repository. You can configure "auto-props" in the
Subversion runtime configuration area so that as you add new files in the
future this property is set automatically for specific file types.

The Eclipse compare editor has a preference to ignore line endings. In
3.2, it is also a button on the tool-bar so that you can toggle it.
