What's wrong with NSOutlineView? Have you read the docs?

I have an application in which it would be very useful to implement
the kind of hierarchical file browser that Xcode uses along the
left side of its main window (the 'Groups & Files' pane), including
the ability to provide logical groups and have files appear in
multiple contexts (e.g. like a .m file can appear under classes but
also under the Compile Sources group of a target). Having custom
icons for the groups - like Xcode - would also be great.
I've experimented some with NSOutlineView, but am wondering if
anyone has any theories on the actual class and design that is used
by Xcode. I get the feeling that Xcode does not use NSOutlineView
but rather some other approach. Also the NSOutlineView docs
indicate that items in an outline must be unique, which is violated
in some cases (like the .m file example mentioned above).
I'd be very grateful if anyone could suggest sources for the
following info:
1) theories on what Xcode actually uses for its 'Groups & Files' pane
2) suggestions of any good ways to approach this (regardless of how
it's done in Xcode)
3) pointers to any example Xcode projects Apple might have that
implement something similar.
Thanks in advance for any comments,
Rick Hoge
