I'm afraid that it may be a bit risky, but your post gave me an other idea.
What about if I dump the all repository and remove in the dump the
"
K13
svn:eol-style
V6
native
"
and then recreate it from the dump.

I didn't dare to do it directly in the repository because I didn't know
exactly the repository format and it seems that the properties are hashed or
something like that to keep the data consistency, but in the dump it should
be safe ! (shouldn't it ?)

Could a SVN developer confirm this please ?

Thank you very much
