Re: Nib file support in subversion

[Jeremy Pereira <je...@ntlworld.com>]

As others have said, this is a problem with xCode.  In fact it is an 
improvement over previous versions of xCode which tended to get 
confused by the existence of the .svn directory *inside* the nib 
(you'll find - if you haven't done so already - that a nib is just a 
directory with some other files in).  I have more or less given up on 
xCode's built in Subversion support and use the command line 
exclusively.

Another gotcha you should be aware of is that if you have a nib with no 
locali[sz]ation it is stored by default in your top level project 
directory.  If you decide it needs to be locali[sz]ed for say English, 
the whole nib will be moved into the English.lproj directory.  Needless 
to say, Subversion is not told that this has happened so you'll have to 
do an svn del and svn add to reflect the change in the repository.
