If anything, the problem would be that you've set the svn:eol-style property
at all.  See, when you set that property, Subversion chooses to store your
file in what it calls "repository normal format", which is Unix-style LF
line endings only.  It then becomes the Subversion client's job to translate
those LFs into Windows-style CRLFs.  But when using ViewVC, there's no
Subversion client to speak of.  ViewVC serves up the file as it is stored in
the repository (normalized to LF line endings, and with any keywords not
expanded).  To a Windows machine, the result will look like a file with all
the lines running together.
