This issue is only for non-human edited files, so if Lazarus Form
Designer used CRLF on all platforms, it shouldn't make a difference -
excepting fixing patch noise.

A quick script to set all .lfm and .lrs files subversion eol-style
property to CRLF should fix this too.


By letting SubVersion silently modify files could corrupt sensitive text
data files as well. What if I have data files that must stay exactly as
is, no matter the platform.

Even the RFC4180 document dictates that CSV files *must* use CRLF as the
EOL character, no matter what platform is being used. So checking in
such files into SubVersion with eol-style=native would actually corrupt
(in theory) those data files.
