You can implement it but I don't think it will accepted. Subversion core
philosophy is that you don't change files during check-in. Since different
combinations of mixed line endings can generate the same file when converted
there will be some cases where a check-in will result in the working copy
being out of date. That means the subversion client will have to modify the
working copy file as well.

You can either agree or disagree with this I don't care. You can continue
the thread but don't bother to reply to me personally because I am filter
out further messages from this thread...
