I'm cross-developing using the mac as the host; all of my code is C99
compliant, and I've been having pretty good luck just putting the
sources under version control. OTOH, if you add in new sources, and you
have not put the project stuff under source control, then when you try
to roll back to an older version, you're going to have large numbers of
errors (file not found, some random settings you no longer remember
changed, etc.)
Here is my guess on what you need:
* your source files, resources, etc.
* Inside of the .xcode bundle -
* your project.pbxproj file
* your <username>.pbxuser file
I'm guessing you don't need the others because IIRC I've seen on this
list that when you run into build problems, the two things to try are 1)
throw away your build directory and 2) get rid of your .mode1 file
(which is in the .xcode bundle). I've never tried getting rid of the
.pbxuser file, so I don't know what happens with it.
As for relavancy, I create a special top level directory that is
separate called BuildSystems. Everything that an IDE might need ends up
there in appropriately named subdirectories ("OS X", "Linux", etc.)
Everyone else knows that they can safely ignore the build system files
when compiling. So far, this has worked pretty well for me. YMMV.
Good luck,
Cem Karan
