newbie question: why this happens?

[Xiaoshen Li <xs...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I am using Linux. My directory structure is like:

project_root/
project_root/abc/

The whole thing (project_root/) is in version control.
When I am at project_root/, "svn st -u" print out:

?      *            abc/fileA.txt
?      *            abc/fileB.txt
?      *            abc/fileC.txt

What above means? I know ? indicates the file is not
in version control, but * means the file has new
modification in svn repository. How could this be?

Again, if I am at project_root/abc/, "svn st -u" print
out nothing. Why is it different from what I saw when
I am at upper level? I checked the property of
project_root/ and project_root/abc/, nothing there. I
am puzzled.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

The likely answer is that someone else has checked in files "fileA.txt",
"fileB.txt" and "fileC.txt" from another working copy into the directory
"abc" before you added and commit the changes in your working copy.

Run "svn log -v abc" and you will probably see who and when those files were
committed.  Although you may need to use the URL instead of just "abc" since
your working copy has not been updated to the most recent revision yet.
