In the Delphi bin-folder (at least in Delphi7) there is a program called
convert.exe which will convert any binary dfm-file to text-format. The only
thing left for you to do is to manually delete the property svn:mime-type on
the converted files before committing, and you will be able to open your
.dfm-files with TMerge in the future.
I've done this myself and it works perfectly.
