I recall that there were problems with subversion when we didn't use
native (but I think we used binary before that, and never tried CRLF).
It may be that the problems don't exist anymore, so I recommend that
we try fresh with CRLF, and reconsider if something actually breaks.

What is the recommended merge flow if I want to make this change to
all branches?
