ra: Do not process end of lines for svn links

Antoine Lambert requested to merge generated-differential-D6595-source into generated-differential-D6595-target

In a subversion repository, files with the svn:special property set correspond to svn links and will be exported as symbolic links when doing a checkout or export operation.

A subversion link is stored as a special file in the repository with the following content: link <path_to_target>.

So when the svn:eol-style property is also set on a svn link, we must ensure that its content will not be overriden by the content of the link target with processed end of lines. Otherwise the reconstructed filesystem for a revision will differ from the one resulting from an export operation on that revision.
