I also don't like the proposed solution. IMO it's not a proper
solution, and we shouldn't add solutions that don't really fix the
original problem just because someone doesn't like the current state.
Instead we should go for the proper solution, even if it takes a
couple of days longer -- this isn't critical in any way at least.

For the record, I've just tried svn's autoprops feature together with
git-svn. It works fine in my environment (svn 1.6.9, git 1.6.6.1, I'll
try to check with an older installation later). A more appropriate
solution would be IMO:

- set all source files to svn:eol-style=LF except files that need CRLF.
- add a proposed ~/.subversion/config file to UsingSVN and especially
tell to use autoprops on the GitVersionControl wiki page. As far as I
can see this should do it:

 [miscellany]
 enable-auto-props = yes

[auto-props]
*.c = svn:eol-style=LF
*.s = svn:eol-style=LF
*.S = svn:eol-style=LF
*.cpp = svn:eol-style=LF
*.h = svn:eol-style=LF
*.ui = svn:eol-style=LF
*.sh = svn:eol-style=LF
*.pl = svn:eol-style=LF
*.pm = svn:eol-style=LF
*.py = svn:eol-style=LF
*.txt = svn:eol-style=LF
*.cfg = svn:eol-style=LF
*.wps = svn:eol-style=LF
*.sbs = svn:eol-style=LF
*.vbs = svn:eol-style=LF # should this be CRLF?)
*.png = svn:mime-type=image/png
*.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
*.bmp = svn:mime-type=image/bmp
*.svg = svn:mime-type=image/svg
Makefile = svn:eol-style=LF

This will leave out a few file types that are used rarely, and for
that case the committer should be able to take care of svn:eol-style
himself. Please point out any file types I missed that should be in
this list.

Regardless of svn:eol-style and autoprops I'd vote for removing
svn:keywords completely.
