The problem here is that as soon as that message is shown, the whole
'add' command already stopped/failed.
If you really want such a feature, I think you have to ask on the
Subversion mailing list for it (dev at subversion tigris org), because
their API returns with an error in such cases (TSVN shows you the error
from that API).

I have the same problem from time to time. But I always use it as an
opportunity to find out *why* I have inconsistent newlines. And then I
report that to the editor/IDE/whatevertool developers who messed up the
newlines while I was editing the file.
