Subversion only alters the line endings of files with svn:eol-style  
properties set; therefore we set that property only on text files.

For setting this property on newly created files (which you or your  
client must do), see:

<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/ 
svn.advanced.props.html#svn.advanced.props.auto>

<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/ 
svn.advanced.html#svn.advanced.confarea.opts.config>


I generated a list of every filename suffix in the source tree, and  
looked through them. I didn't find any that I was sufficiently  
uncertain about not to proceed, so I applied svn:eol-style native to  
every file with one of the below suffixes, and "Makefile"s. Any text  
files with other names have not been examined.

I also found inconsistent newlines in src/report-updoc-*.txt and jsrc/ 
org/erights/e/elang/syntax/antlr/, and normalized them.

(BTW, the report-* files look autogenerated, and they contain paths  
specific to your system; these suggest that they really ought to be  
not in the repository.)

Before committing, I tried the repl, and ran updoc on src/esrc/ 
scripts/test/.

no-newline-bug.updoc failed. Since I have no idea how or whether the  
source newline changes affected this, I'll leave it to you to debug  
that.

Suffixes of files I applied svn:eol-style to:

bash
bat
bot
c
cap
cap-account
cap-acct
cap-acctboss
cap-kiosk
cap-kioskboss
cap-ss
cap-ssboss
caplet
cpp
e
e-awt
e-swt
el
emaker
g
grammar
h
htm
html
in
java
json
mk
safej
sash
schema
sh
txt
updoc
y

This is all of the suffixes my query found:

2
a
bash
bat
bot
c
cap
cap-account
cap-acct
cap-acctboss
cap-kiosk
cap-kioskboss
cap-ss
cap-ssboss
caplet
cpp
data
dll
e
e-awt
e-swt
el
emaker
g
gif
grammar
h
htm
html
ico
in
jar
java
jnilib
jpg
json
mk
png
safej
sash
schema
sh
sl

txt
updoc
