The 'svn:eol-style' property is you friend. You preferred value would be
'native', which makes the client check out with the correct eol style. A
linux client will use LF and a windows client CRLF. If you however use a
windows client to check out into a linux build folder, you will still be
screwed.

Read the docs on how to set properties on files.
