Your IDE can be reasonably expected to understand your code and be able
to reformat it (after all, it can syntax-highlight it).
It's less reasonable to expect that of Subversion, since it has to be
able to understand ANYthing you commit, no matter what language it's
written in -- even non-code files.
Still, if you really want to then I think it'd be possible for you to
write a commit hook that would reformat the files to the "correct"
style. Then the developer could commit in whatever style they wanted
and it'd get reformatted to a unified style automatically. But it's far
easier just to get people used to a single coding standard. (It's also
generally regarded as impolite for a version-control system to store a
modified version of what you're committing, rather than keeping it
verbatim.)
