I wish this particular setting was the default one. I have that one in
my local settings (but I wasn't even aware that I should be adding any
other subversion settings when building TL sources).

Thank you for the useful command.

But as expected, the properties of all the files mentioned are
  svn:eol-style
    native

Changing that to LF might solve the Yung-Jang Lee's problem without
the need for additional local configuration file.

(Nevertheless it still wouldn't hurt if the build was working properly
with both LF and CRLF line endings, but that's a different story.)
