Funny thing is, after step 5 (committing the original file) $Header$
*is* expanded to something like:

| $Header: file:/[...]/Readme.txt 1 2010-09-08 12:51:37Z felixsaphir $

When I try to apply the patch, the error message is:

| ---------------------------
| TortoiseMerge
| ---------------------------
| The patch seems outdated! The file line
| $Header$
| and the patchline
| $Header: file:/[...]/Readme.txt 1 2010-09-08 12:51:37Z felixsaphir $
| do not match!
| ---------------------------
| OK
| ---------------------------

I'm using TortoiseSVN 1.6.9.19725 with svn libs 1.6.12
