The message says it all: You have a local (ie in trunk) modification
while the merge tries to delete that modified files.
For you not to loose changes without knowing about it, SVN triggers a
tree conflict. Only you, human, can decide what to do between keeping
the file with the changes made in trunk, or accept the deletion that
comes from the merge of the branch
