if you change the svn:eol-style property to something the file does not
have (i.e., the file has CRLF and you set the property to LF), then svn
considers the file contents as modified. Once you commit the property
change, the line endings in the file are automatically adjusted to what
the property says and the file then will show the content status as not
modified anymore.
