It doesn't actually work quite that nicely.

If you set that option, a checkout or update produces files in the
working directory with the specified line ending type.

When you add a file that's auto-prop'ed to have this, the right thing
happens PROVIDED that the original file line endings are all the
same. All DOS, all Unix, either is fine. What produces an error and
terminates the "svn add" is a file that has some of each. And files
like that sometimes show up in stuff I want to import.
