My fault for not handling this when migrating from CVS.  CVS translates line
endings by default, but Subversion only does so when specifically
instructed.   Subversion handles end-of-line translations on files whose
svn:eol-style property has the value "native".  I will add this property to all
the text files in the repository (this weekend at the latest; probably not
before then).

Unfortunately, the Subversion repository can't be configured to set this
property automatically on newly added files.  I believe the svn client can be
configured to set it automatically, but I haven't tried it.
