I agree that sharing a working copy between OS's is not a good idea
when setting svn:eol-style to native, but I don't see any part of the
OP's message where it's said that a single working copy is being
shared between OS's. All I see is "I committed files from Windows,
and when I check them out on Linux I see ^M characters" which would
be solved by setting svn:eol-style to native.
If a working copy is being shared between OS's, you can do what we
did instead, which is to set svn:eol-style to LF, and educate all the
Windows tools you're using to use LF line endings instead of CRLF.
Depending on the Windows tools you use, though, this can be difficult
or even impossible to set up.
