Well, the problem for me is actually from trying to use both svn and hg at once.
So if one either:
1) Uses only svn
2) Uses only hg
I don't see how using only hg should solve this? If someone pushs a commit with mixed/wrong line feeds there is no way to fix this automatically as far as I can see?
I must admit, I work often on a samba share with a windows editor and commit from unix (e.g. on my arm), but with subversion, this works perfectly.

3) Uses both, but without svn:eol-style=native property
then all is well.
Recently I even suggested to drop svn:eol-style, but apparently it
is important for some Windows users.
How should it work? The files end up with mixed line feeds or even worse a full diff because a windows editor might add \r to all line feeds?

Do you know you can fix up commits in DVCS as long as nobody
pulled your changes yet? (And even after that, but at a risk of
confusing others).
What do you mean with fix up?
I must admit, however, that the interface for doing that in Mecrurial is bad --
it is much better in git.
