I assume that before you make the changes in the next step, this file was
branched out.

Please read about svn:keywords in this chapter:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch07s02.html

Subversion was designed in such a way that changes to the keywords don't
cause conflict. However in your situation, you have the keywords set in
trunk and not set in the branch. Once you also set the svn:keyword property
on the branch, the conflict will no longer appear.

For the first merge, it is better for you to resolve the conflict by
resetting your keyword texts ($Revision: $) in your branch and then
committing it. And this way future merges will never have conflicts on the
keyword texts.
