Ok, I was going from memory and mixed up CR with LF.

Bash on Fedora. I've tried both Tigris and Tortoise on Windows. When 
changing the eol-style at my end didn't work I discussed it with my IT 
guys, who said that the style needs to be applied at the svn host, not the 
client.

Yes, I could have used unix2dos but it seems to me that fixing the style 
for shell scripts isn't going to hurt anyone because *native* Windows tools 
aren't going to use them anyway. I think native Windows compilers can deal 
with unix style source files (though I'm not %100 certain of that), so they 
can be left as is.

In the end I ssh'ed to a unix machine here and ran svn from there, but I 
thought I'd post this so that anyone searching for info on the same problem 
will find something.
