Hello
For a lengthy discussion on why tar wrappers in Subversion are a bad
idea, see:

What they really want to do is add support for opaque directories:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=707
Unfortunately it ain't there yet.
I've tried chmoding everything in the .svn directory in my nib to be
writable, and that seems to work OK. svn status still works, but I
haven't tried committing anything yet. I can't imagine it's going to
break subversion, although subversion may go and reset the permissions
at some point.
I'm using subversion for my Cocoa projects. Adding the write permission
to the files contained in the .svn directory works fine: IB doesn't
complain anymore and subversion doesn't care. However, the permissions
may have to be changed again later because subversion sometimes
restores the original ones (when it modifies the files I guess).
By the way, be careful when releasing your projects, because Xcode
doesn't know about the .svn folders. There are no equivalents of the
REMOVE_CVS_FROM_RESOURCES build settings for them and they are thus
copied into the built products. It would be great if a set of
files/folders to remove could be specified in the build settings and/or
in the user defaults (like IB).
I was also wondering why IB was complaining. I guess that the NIB
packages are recreated from scratch when saving (or there would be no
problems with the resources to preserve at all), so IB only needs to be
able to read and erase the data. All the directories contained in .svn
are writable, so there should be no issue. Am I missing something or is
IB to strict?
