Problem with SVN and DOS end-of-line

Hello,

the file '02_default_properties.patch' in
'svn+ssh://ewl-guest@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/libjgoodies-forms-java/debian/patches'
had DOS end-of-lines because it patches a file with such endings
(upstream!). After the move from CVS to SVN, this end-of-lines were
replaced through unix ones (and as a result applying the patch fails).
This wouldn't be so bad if I could fix this, but svn refuses to commit a
corrected file, with proper Windows end-of-lines. Error message is
'Inconsistent line ending style'.

Any idea on how to fix the mess? I couldn't find any valuable hint on
Google, as said using UNIX-style end-of-lines is not an option.

Thanks, Eric
