newbie question: why this happens?

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.
