I cannot reproduce that problem; every time I try, subversion
(correctly) complains that the file has an "inconsistent line ending
style".

Absolutely not. Subversion does not, and should not, try to guess the
semantics of the files that it stores; that would make it hugely more
complex, and less reliable.

I wonder if you're using a very old version of Subversion, since, as I
say, I cannot reproduce the problem. It might be helpful to post a
precise reproduction recipe.
