I expect it will be the local EOL style if the property is set to
"native", the specified style if it's set to LF/CR/CRLF, and
byte-for-byte reproduction otherwise.

I also note that 'export' has a --native-eol option. So you could use
'svn export $URL/to/file', or maybe teach that option to the 'svn cat'
command.
