How do teams share nib files? Whether saved in text or binary, it appears that if two people edit a nib, there is no way to merge the changes together in, say, Subversion.

Conceptually, I don't think nibs are something that fit well with the concept of merging. The user interface of a window should really only be updated by one person at a time. From the user's perspective all of the onscreen elements directly impact each other.

Well, the problem is localization. Unless you're fluent in pretty much every language, you're going to need to send your nib files to someone else to translate them into Spanish, French, Japanese, etc., and when they send the modified versions back to you, they sometimes end up lacking the .svn directory inside, which causes Subversion to go into a *fit*.


If there's any way around this, I'd love to know about it as well.
