Interface Builder files have a long way to go with reguards to
integrating with industry standard SCM systems. That said, you can
get consistently good diff results with Filemerge. Filemerge runs
Interface Builder documents through ibtool to provide a
canonicalized human readable textual representation of a NIB before
presenting you with a diff.
Well, I last tried this on Tiger, where nibtool is very selective as
to what information it will display to you. There's a lot missing,
like bindings. It did occasionally help to view NIBs, but it doesn't
let you merge NIB files, because it's a lossy export.
I've seen stuff in the Leopard release notes and docs that looks
like this is about to improve, but just yesterday Xcode 3 did
something with one of my NIBs that made one of my apps crash when
launched on Tiger, and I had quite a time tracking down and restoring
that. So, I'm reluctant to seriously go for Xcode 3 until I know stuff
like that has been fixed.
