We added a text file to our repository as a Unicode file, when it really 
wasn't. In the past, we've had a unicode file in as a binary file, and I 
was able to delete, commit, then re-add the file as unicode and 
everything was fine.

But trying to delete, commit, make sure the file is converted to ASCII 
from Unicode, re-add the file as text -- it still goes into the 
repository as unicode. If I delete my local file, then re-pull it, it 
comes out as unicode.

Is there anyway around this?
