When you ignore eol/whitespace changes when blaming, such a change won't
affect the blamed line (i.e., blame will still show the author *before*
that whitespace/eol change).

Example:

Author 'person1' changes line 100, fixes a bug. The commit happens in r200.
Later, 'person2' changes the svn:eol-style property on that file, which
as you might know will result in the blame only showing 'person2' as the
author for every line in that file (because 'person2' changed the eol in
every line).
But when you ignore eol when blaming, that change will be ignored, and
line 100 still shows 'person1' as the author.
