[cvsnt] Converting binary files to ASCII

I just converted some Borland forms from their proprietary binary format to
a text format. Initially they were in the repository as binary files. So I
removed them, committed, added the new ASCII files making sure they were
ASCII and then committed again.

Subsequent checkouts still show them as binary files though. I didn't change
their names at all and on the second commit the new ASCII forms assumed the
next revisions of the old binary files.

How can I do this? Do I have to (or even can I?) edit the repository by
hand?
