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.
That's true, you can't use it for merging, only diffing. You can see
basic bindings information by passing "--connections" to either ibtool
on Leopard, or nibtool on Tiger. Filemerge does this for you.
