David,

what I don't understand is why, if svn:eol-style=native always chooses
the correct format for the destination system, why the other specific
options even exist. Except for backward compatibility of course.
Why not write a pre-commit hook that checks if the file type is some
text file, aka not binary, and set the eol-style to native and be done
with it? No bothering users with client=side config that they forget to
update, save, maintain or even apply at all. You also don't need to
maintain the hooks when new file types get added that you haven't
supported yet.

Chris.
