Nope.

If I had the time (and felt like airing our dirty laundry) I could easily
top this issue with at least a half dozen others. But we worked directly
with the xcode team (by filing & regressing bugs) so by the time 1.2 shipped
all our (major) issues had been resolved.

We use a xserve with ssh also. IIRC our passwords are based on our netinfo
server so I never have to deal with that anymore (not even from home access
via VPN).

The reality is that it got both better and worse because of the changes they
had to make to make the SCM part of xcode more agnostic.
The GUI definitely "needs work" but is at least usable (I wish it would
remember that I like the SCM status in column one).
If I ever need to do more than open & edit files and then commit the changes
then I usually use CVL. It's just a nicer tool.
