Subversion does not just blindly say the file is modified. It
ultimately computes a checksum of the file and compares that against
what it thinks it should be. If they are different it says the file is
modified. So something has changed.

If you are confident nothing should have changed, just run svn revert
and let SVN put back the version it thinks you should have.
