using subversion with Xcode?

[Mark Goldstein <kv...@att.net>]

Hi,

Are there any of you out there using subversion with Xcode under OS-X? 
I've just started managing an Xcode project via svnserve (not apache) 
over a VPN and have noticed some surprising things:

Can anyone tell me why Xcode appears to communicate with the subversion 
server so much? (the SCM item in the project window shows a spinning 
progress widget whenever I save an edited source file). I'd assumed 
that subversion would remain quiescent until I perform a command myself 
from the SCM menu. What's going on?

Also, the svn-book (Chapter 3, page 44, "Examine Your Changes") states 
that "subversion ... is able to do many things without communicating 
with the repository". As far as I can figure this is not the case with 
Xcode. For instance,  when performing a compare with the base revision, 
Xcode never examines the local .svn "pristine cache", it always fetches 
a temp copy of the base revision from the serve. If the SCM menu option 
"go offline" is selected the compare and diff with base items are not 
enabled at all. What gives?

Did I miss something in the subversion setup, or is the Apple 
implementation a little quirky?

Thanks,
-Mark

I noticed this too (actually, I cannot confirm it is communicating  
with the server, just that it spends a lot of time doing svn related  
activity). I ended up disabling the SCM setting in Xcode and just  
doing all of my subversion activity through svnX, SCPlugin and the  
command line. Although it would be nice to be able to do/see this  
stuff in Xcode, I get very frustrated when the editor is running  
about a line behind my typing.

Sorry I cannot offer you any assistance, just a confirmation that  
others are seeing this also (I'm using svn 1.3 and Apache, so this is  
not limited to svnserve or to old versions of svn).
