Committers: please check your svn setup for creating new files - svn:eol-style native seems to be missing on many files

The Apache committers guide suggests setting up your svn configuration to set
this property automatically for newly created files, see
http://apache.org/dev/#version-control and click on "SVN eol-style.  I see our
one-time-setup page SVN section is missing this info, so I'll add it.

If you do this setup, the svn property eol-style is automatically set to
"native" for new files.  Without this, every time someone updates a file on an
OS that uses different line ending conventions (Windows vs Linux vs MacOs), the
SVN thinks all lines are changed.

With this, the files are store in SVN in a standard coding for this, and when
checked out, assume the coding of the machine they're checked out on; when
checked in, they are converted as necessary to the standard way.
