I have imported all the files from my project into a repository and

XCode to track the status of the files within each *.wo group of each
Web Component of my project. Each group contains a .html, .wod, and
.woo file for the component. The scm status for files within a .wo
group are never shown in xcode and none of the scm functions are
available. Looking in the scm log within the Show SCM window of xcode
shows that Main.html is modified but then xcode doesn't reflect that
it has a modified status anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions
to get around this problem? Is the xcode scm usable for webobjects
projects or should I use an external cvs gui tool?
If your CVS repository is wrapping wo file packages, all wo file
package components are mushed together (technical term) into a single
file in the repository (e.g., a gzip'ed tar archive). There's no way
for CVS and therefore Xcode to know the modified status of individual
wo file package files. This is one of several reasons why CVS file
package wrapping should not be used.
If your CVS repository isn't wrapping wo file packages, one or more
bugs in Xcode 1.1 seem to make its tracking of the modified state of wo
components incorrect. Not sure if this has been fixed in Xcode 1.2.
Because Xcode can't do everything that's necessary to use CVS, I use
the free CVL (http://www.sente.ch/software/cvl/) CVS GUI client to
avoid using the CVS command-line interface as much as possible (CVL
doesn't cover all CVS operations and options, but it covers far more
than Xcode).
Aloha,
Art
