Subversions default behavior is to commit and restore your files as
they are: No conversion of line breaks.

Setting svn:eol-style to one of the values "native", "LF", "CRLF"
causes the appropriate EOL conversion on checkout.

Yes, you can use auto-props on the client side to have the client set
svn:eol-style on new files when they are added. (You'll have to set it
yourself for files that have already been added.)

Here's an except of the relevant part of my ~/.subversion/config

[miscellany]
enable-auto-props = yes
[auto-props]
*.txt = svn:eol-style=native;svn:mime-type=text/plain
*.html = svn:eol-style=native;svn:mime-type=text/html
