As Ed said, it means the project has been modified in some way.  Most 
likely, the project in SVN did not have a .project file or a .settings 
directory; when Eclipse imported the project, it created those.  You may 
want to either add them to the SVN repository, or mark them as 'ignored' so 
that SVN doesn't try to add them, as appropriate.
