Yep, I'm aware of this, but then I aim at correcting the history
when svn:eol-style property has not been properly set already with
adding the file(s), which becomes a problem (or at least not small
inconvenience) when the file has been initially created on Windows
with non-repository-native EOL style, or just the EOL style has been
inadvertently changed before the svn:eol-style gets properly set.
This situation is caused by user ignorance one cannot always
control. Commit hooks can help but they are not part of the default
setup, also.
