Re: Nib file support in subversion

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.
