You need to set the 'svn:eol-style' property to native so that Windows  
users will get CRLF and unix users will get LF when checking out their  
code.

While you're at it, if you may also want to set 'svn:keywords' to Id to  
get this:
"Id: This keyword is a compressed combination of the other keywords. Its  
substitution looks something like $Id: calc.c 148 2002-07-28 21:30:43Z  
sally $, and is interpreted to mean that the file calc.c was last changed  
in revision 148 on the evening of July 28, 2002 by the user sally."
You have to place this line under the license header of each file you want  
to get this information displayed:
/* $Id:$ */

Finally, the mime-type and executable can be set for some file types. For  
example, a python file will usually get the following properties set:
*.py = svn:eol-style=native; svn:keywords=Id;  
svn:mime-type=text/x-python; svn:executable

There's a way to enable auto-props in your client so these properties are  
automatically set when you add the file the first time, first link I found:

Hope that helps,
