A conflict occurred. You had locally changed version.txt, then
switched to a branch where version.txt contained a different change
on the exact same line where you had previously made a change. You
must now resolve the conflict by editing version.txt and making the
file look correct, for whatever your definition of correct is. Then
run "svn resolved version.txt" to tell Subversion you have resolved
the conflict.

You can read about conflicts in the book:
