I want you to be aware of an error in Chapter 8 (page 97) of my book,
Xcode 3 Unleashed.
This chapter covers setting up for version control with Subversion,
and advises that the following be added to the global-ignores line of
the ~/.subversion/config file:
build * .nib *.so *.pbxuser *.mode* *.perspective*
THIS IS IN ERROR. The added text should properly be
build *~.nib *.so *.pbxuser *.mode* *.perspective*
Depending on how you read the line, this would exclude either all .nib
packages, or worse, ALL files, from version control.
You'll be tipped off to the error if the checked-out copy of your
project is empty, or lacks NIB files. Regardless, you will have to
take corrective action now.
The remedy is
1) Edit the ~/.subversion/config file as shown.
2) Use the Finder (or the command line, if you prefer) to visit each
working-copy directory you checked out since you originally edited
~/.subversion/config. Identify the files that are missing, and copy
them into the working directory from your original project directory.
3) On the command line, do a "svn add", listing the formerly-missing
files.
It is important you do this to avoid loss of data.
The editing process had been plagued with dropped tildes, and this one
slipped through. I deeply apologize for this error. My publisher and I
are doing what we can to correct it.
