Another solution is to have your source code tree in Unix LF text format. The only change is that Windows editors will display source code files on a single line. You can convert them by hand with tools like unix2dos/dos2unix or todos/fromdos but it may not be reasonable to do it on the many (4 ?) source code files that the "change_clothes" patch updates.

You would rather edit your subversion configuration file and change the svn:eol-style property to have this:

### Section for configuring automatic properties.
[auto-props]
### The format of the entries is:
###   
### 
### 
### 
### 
*.c = svn:eol-style=LF
*.cpp = svn:eol-style=LF
*.h = svn:eol-style=LF
# *.dsp = svn:eol-style=CRLF
# *.dsw = svn:eol-style=CRLF
*.sh = svn:eol-style=native;svn:executable
*.txt = svn:eol-style=LF
# *.png = svn:mime-type=image/png
# *.jpg = svn:mime-type=image/jpeg
Makefile = svn:eol-style=LF

LF for all the source files: *.h, *.cpp and *.c (I doubt there are still .c files in stracciatella).
If you use TortoiseSVN, it's in the menu TortoiseSVN->Settings, where you have a button "Edit Subversion configuration file". The next time you check out from Mythrell's or Tron's repositories, your source code files will be converted to Unix text file format.
