good catch there.

i dont see anything here that specifically says, svn:eol-style
cannot be used as a revision property

i must have some disconnect regarding usage of these properties..
is there no way to say, i want all files in this repository, beneath this
directory to have their eol managed by the subversion?
what about new files? if i create a file and add it to the repository,
without specifying the svn:eol-style property on it, will the eol style
on the file not be managed by the repository? thats ridiculous,
considering users may be creating files on their own.. thats
asking users to get involved in administration tasks; eww.
