FTP can manipulate line endings, depending on its settings. I urge you
to stop trying to change two things in one step, namely the version of
Subversion and the OS or binaries for Subversion at the same time. If
you have to do loads and conversions on the Windows server, use the
CygWin version of subversion, which is much more consistent and robust
in its Subversion server behavior. (That is "in my experience".)
