This isn't just a SVG problem: bootstrap.bat in the root directory has the wrong svn:eol-style for example!

Options:

1. If we don't care that checkouts from git of old revisions may have incorrect EOLs, we can commit a fix to all affected files in SVN HEAD to ensure their svn:eol-style exactly matches what https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BoostSubversion says it should be.

2. If we do care that checkouts from git any revision are always correct, we'll need to do some monkeypatching during the svn to git conversion

(i.e. check for incorrectness, and fix).

I prefer the first option, since it's not just a git problem and keeps the two repositories consistent.

Great; less work for me. I like that!

Might also be a good idea to introduce some pre-commit SVN hooks to ensure appropriate line endings.

Be my guest, but hopefully we'll be off SVN soon enough that it won't make any difference. -- Dave Abrahams
