If you look in the repository, you'll see a file
within an Attic subdirectory named data.txt,v and a
file in the Attic's parent directory named Data.txt,v.

You'll have to remove one of them.  My guess is that
you'll want to remove Data.txt,v since it's newer. 
After doing this, readd the file as data.txt.

HTH,
Noel
