I wanted to ask anyway because even if it seemed to work it could always
come back and bite me a month from now!

However, I found that a warning is generated when you add a binary file
after the auto-props are set. (Although the warning isn't very
informative: "svn: File 'desktop.jpg' has binary mime type property",
but it doesn't mention that this warning happened when trying to set the
auto-prop).

The attempt to set svn:eol-style fails, but the Add succeeds. However,
if I was trying to add multiple binary files, only the first binary file
gets added, and I need to try the Add again to get the others. That
could get rather tedious!

So it seems there's no good way to set svn:eol-style for all files. Bummer.
