svn add somefile
svn propset svn:eol-style native somefile
svn commit somefile

Or, if you have set up an auto-props rule that matches somefile, then
the properties will be automatically set for you the moment you add
the file, and will thus be part of the first commit.

No, there's no feature like that in Subversion. Use auto-props on the
client, and set up a pre-commit hook on the server to reject commits
that do not conform to your property policy.

That's a good suggestion, but note that book feedback should be sent
to the book mailing list, which you can find under the "Feedback/
Contributing" heading on
