The problem here (in my opinion): SVN opens all files in binary mode and
handles the line-endings "by hand" (utilising the APR macro to get the
native line-ending) instead of opening them in text mode. Using the text
mode would make this a non-issue.

It is especially troublesome if you are using Cygwin on Windows and
sometimes using DOS line endings, and sometimes using Unix line endings.
Because of this, I have re-compiled SVN myself once to allow it to use
DOS line endings (Cygwin version of SVN uses Unix line-endings by
default).

As told, this wouldn't be an issue if SVN would rely on standard
functionality instead of re-inventing the wheel here.

Just the personal opinion of
Spiro.
