I agree, but at some point we may have to brute-force resolve the
problem as it's causing issues with the acceptance of SVN.

Actually, I checked again with the guy who did the conversion which
script he used and he went with svnimporter from polarion. I have no
idea if this makes a difference.

At this point, they both show as CRLF eol (on a Windows client), as
expected.

Yep.

Nope. They both have CRLF endings still.
Are you right to expect that the .svn/text-base version should have
CRLF eol though? In the files that have been edited and are now behaving
correctly, the text-base versions have LF eols. My theory was that this
is as should be, because SVN uses LF eols internally and svn diff
expects this and converts the file for comparison because of the native
property.
