Subversion and XCode

Howdy all,

Well, I've just spent a day getting svn, apache, php and such working nicely on my Tiger box using a combination of my own knowhow plus the guidelines from the Apple Developer Connection article, "Getting Control with Subversion and Xcode", available at:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/subversionxcode.html
A word of advice, don't build apache with --with-mpm=worker, it appears to cause problems with tiger, something about preforks and knives comes to mind, but alas, that's not what this post is about.


This post concerns a much more unpleasant reality, and that's this - it would appear that XCode's project builder deletes .svn directories without asking, perhaps it is its prerogative, dunno, but it's pretty annoying. I created a project, added it to source control, edited a file here and a file there and then tried to commit the changes and svn refused, complaining about locks and whatnot. Come to find out, project builder treats nibs as objects and destroys and creates them at will (wiping out subversions working files in the process). Whereas subversion treats nibs as directories (cuz that's what they are :) ) and stores .svn directories in them as part of it's working directory scheme.

Just curious, what do you guys and gals think about it? Is this something that Apple needs to fix in XCode, or something that Subversion should handle? Personally, I have no preference who fixes it so long as the problem goes away - I will continue to use Subversion as I love it, but I may wind up doing archival backups in XCode until the problem is resolve - anyone got a better idea?

Regards,

Will
