Official or not, Boost effectively endorses \n as the one true line ending; the release files have names like boost_1_35_0.7z and boost_1_35_0.tar.bz2, no line-ending choice available.

The .zip files have \r\n line endings.

SVN should not act like FTP with text and binary modes, munging bytes as they flow. It should maintain bytewise-exact copies of what the user intended, possibly with commit hooks to reject bad line endings.
