Ari,

Your configuration file is OK.
The problem is that auto-props are set on files only while adding or 
importing new file.

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07.html

"The auto-props section controls the Subversion client's ability to 
automatically set properties on files when they are added or imported."


And then, Subversion uses these settings during further processing of 
that file, ie. during commit.

In other words, if svn:eol-style was not set to LF for all .c, .cpp and 
.h files while they were being imported to the SVN, then the eol-style 
is by default set to native.

Run this command and you will see that all C/C++ header files have 
svn:eol-style set to native:

$ find . -name '*.h' | xargs svn propget svn:eol-style | grep LF

Now, if we want to change it to LF, we have to issue svn propset

svn propset -R svn:eol-style LF *.cpp
svn propset -R svn:eol-style LF *.c
svn propset -R svn:eol-style LF *.h

or svn propedit command:

svn propedit svn:eol-style file.cpp

and change native to LF
