I don't think that's possible at all, because AFAIR subversion compares
hashes (SHA?) to detect modifications. One could probably adapt the
algorithm to ignore whitespace, but that might make calculating the
status output much slower (and thus delay the correct overlays).

But as the original problem seems to be about line endings, maybe
svn:eol-style is worth a try. Or maybe just talk to the people making
the changes ...
