OK, you must know that english is not my native language, so maybe I
didn't explain the problem correctly. Here is my problem:

I do not set the svn:eol-style of any file because I want subversion to
store it in the repository just as it is. In fact subversion does that
correctly, it doesn't change the line-endings. which is very good !
(This was one of the big problems we had with cvs)

But when I 'svn update' a file and there is a merge-conflict the
line-endings of the conflict-markers are in the native style (note: ONLY
the conflict-markers!). My problem is that I would like subversion to
set the line-endings of the conflict-markers in the same style as the
rest of the file.
If subversion knows the svn:eol-style the style is known but when I do
__not__ set the svn:eol-style subversion doesn't know. But in that case
subversion could make a good guess by looking at the rest of the file.
(That's what I meant by guessing!)
