There is a subversion propset that tells svn what kind of end-of-line
processing you want it to use.

No process, convert to local host ("native"), force CR, force LF, force CRLF.

(Did I miss one?)

The propset is called svn:eol-style.  For example, try running:

    svn -v proplist *.py

(I'm not at my computer with GRAMPS/SVN, but I think that is correct.)

So if we tell svn to use "native", the next time you check out (or
check in?) the file I believe it will go through and fix all eol in
the file to match the native OS-specific method typically used to
indicate end-of-line.  This way you wont have files with a mix of
CRLF, CR, and LF, which is probably what caused the confusion in this
case.

This property has to be set "per file".  There is no global setting as
far as I remember, and the setting is not local to your dev
environment but is stored as meta-data in the svn database.
