I think I get confused, you jump between 1.6 and 1.7 to often: You did
a reintegrate merge with 1.6 and all files in the repo got changed, a
local diff is telling you that, but your line endings in the working
copy are still CR/LF, right? If you do the same with 1.7, all line
endings of the files merged in the repo change to LF as well, but the
ones in your working copy are changed to LF and not stay or changed to
CR/LF, too? The latter case is something I wouldn't have expected,
too.

What did you merge where? May the files in the repo already were
converted before?

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.props.file-portability.html#svn.advanced.props.special.eol-style

...in your working copy, not in the repo. It's fully understandable if
Subversion normalizes line endings on files if you want it to convert
between different line endings automatically. Normalized files only
need to be converted from LF to anything, not anything to anything.
