Vendor drops, svn_load_dirs.pl, and eol-type

Greetings.

I'm getting bit by an "anomaly" trying to correctly handle vendor
drops.

The problem is the repository from which I am obtaining the vendor
code has several files with the svn:eol-style set to "native". I
would like to keep this property for the files as they exist in
my repository.

However, when I do an export to pick up the vendor code, knowledge
of this property is lost. Thus when I use svn_load_dirs.pl to add
this new drop to my repository svn:eol-style is the default (not
set to anything) which causes builds to work or fail depending on
whether the builds are being done on *nix or Windows. If it were
only *nix or Windows there wouldn't be a problem; but I need to be
able to support multiple platforms.

There are thousands of files I need to bring over, so even writing
a script to look at each file from the vendor's repository and set
the property correctly on my repository is not very appealing.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
