Assuming the script is written correctly that shouldn't happen, since
the purpose of the script would be to add an eol to the end of a file
that does not already end in an eol. But definitely while you're
writing the script you might not get it right the first time and
could easily find yourself with a script that causes an infinite loop
of commits. So it should definitely be developed on a temporary
throwaway repository and not on your production repository.

Yes, but the issue is not the eol-style of the entire file, but the
fact that he wants every text file to be guaranteed to end with an
eol, which is not something the svn:eol-style property has anything
to do with.
