End of line characters issue for Win32 and Linux baselines

I have a subversion server set up such that I check out files on a linux machine and on a windows machine.  I'm running into issues with line breaks and carriage returns.  If I change something on windows then the whole file shows up as a difference because of the end of line characters.  Is there any way of "ignoring whitespace" such as this so the end of line characters remain consistent?

Thanks.

Set the svn:eol-style property on each text file:

Wouldn't it be better to decide on a line ending style to be used for 
the project, and stick to it on all platforms? for example, instruct 
your Windows text editor to use Unix linefeeds?
