You have to rename one of the files using svn mv command. On windows I find the easiest way to do this is using the Repository Browser from TortoiseSVN.

But, with the command line I think you have to do something like:

svn mv FileName.txt filename_old.txt
svn ci
svn up

Or you can just delete the offending file using:

svn del ^/path/to/filethatiswrong.txt
