Solution

  • The plus sign tells you that a file or folder has been scheduled to be added to version control.

    Edit for updated question:

    "The (+) means that TortoiseSVN was able to figure out the item's history, and has added the history metadata to this commit." Meaning you can trace the state of the file in which it used to exist, hence version control. Taken from this post.
