I've put together a tutorial on how exactly to go about setting CVS
up. As I alluded to in the article, there are plenty of resources
describing ways of setting up CVS, but I couldn't locate a single
resource which describes a successful method of marrying XCode and
CVS. Thus, I hope this serves as a valuable resource in that area.

Nice tutorial. One nit: cvswrappers are broken. Please stop using
them. It will only cause you pain later.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I actually made the post and then
left straightaway on holidays, so I had a bit of reading to do once I
returned!
The overwhelming response seems to echo Bill's suggestions here, so I'm
a bit lost again! I read a few of your posts Bill, on the Cocoa mailing
list and I must say, I'm no closer to a solution I'm happy with.
I'll update the blog to incorporate the comments so I don't lead people
totally astray!
I do know that the technique described is working for me. Not using
cvswrappers simply *did not work*. I don't want to have to commit the
nib's by hand every time, or risk destroying the repository, and with
this method *it seems so far* that I do not have to. That's not to say
that I'm having 100% success. So far I've been able to stumble through
quite happily, but I am certainly wary of troubles down the track. I
can see where the concerns are coming from, and I'll definately keep
them in mind.
Wow, I didn't expect this to be so deeply clouded by mixed opinions and
hacky solutions. What a bugger. Source control seems to be a fairly
significant thing to get right in the IDE, and I know Apple have their
eye on it. Still waiting ;)
I'll offer a side discussion here then: In other IDE's I've used,
source control was a separate process to code development. The process
was to: first visit the SCM application and update to all the latest
versions; then enter development; and then at the end of development,
kill the development app and run the SCM app again, committing any
changes. Do other people use or recommend this method on OS X? Having
CVS in the IDE appears very nice, but if it doesn't work, perhaps
separating the two is the way to go.
