Yes: set the svn:eol-style property of these files to a suitable
value, for example "native". This means when you check out on Windows
your files will have CRLF line endings, and on Linux and Mac OS X,
you'll have LF line endings.

You can use auto-props to automate the setting of these properties on
new files.

You can write a pre-commit hook to prevent the commit of files that
don't have this property set, if you want to do that.

Consult the documentation. http://svnbook.org/
