Translation: The newly added newfile.txt is completely unrelated to the
previously existing newfile.txt you are merging from.
Either
a) Remove the newly added newfile.txt and instead do a 'svn copy ...' of the
previously existing newfile.txt to the new location. This preserves ancestry
and makes merging easier.
Or
b) If the newly added newfile.txt really should be completely
independent/unrelated to the previously existing newfile.txt, then you will
need to use a "2-URL merge" to merge the previously existing newfile.txt into
the newly added newfile.txt. Refer to "svn help merge".

3. This form is called a '2-URL merge':
...
The target branch may be the same as one or both sources, or different again.
The three branches involved can be completely unrelated.
