As I recall, if a file with svn:eol-style set has inconsistent line endings (e.g. some LF, some CRLF), Subversion will reject the commit and require the user to make the file's line endings consistent before proceeding. Though I don't know whether this is happening on the client or on the server.

My understanding is that if svn:eol-style is set to *any value* then the repository stores the file with LF line endings and the client does eol translation to your desired style.
