That's not strange. We have a Linux web and file server and mostly
Windows workstations. We might check something out onto a Samba share
using TortoiseSVN on a Windows machine and then use it from the Linux
commandline, or we might check it out on the Linux commandline and
later use it on a Windows client. "Native" line endings are useless
in this scenario as they're native to the platform that did the
checkout, which is not necessarily the platform now wanting to edit
the working copy.

I agree: Unix line endings would be a better choice, and it's what
we've standardized on in our company. But perhaps that's only because
a good Windows editor can deal with files with Unix line endings,
while Unix/Linux commandline utilities in my experience cannot.
