Sure many files *look* like text files, but you have heard Tim saying that

1) a SCM should never change the line ending format
2) some files are random access files. If SVN replaces \n by \r\n at 
checkout time, they are corrupt, since the byte count at the beginning 
of the file does not work anymore.
