I could go on, and on, and probably should. Lets just say that I now know

than wait to see if the merge corrupted it. Because corrupted xcode projects
and nibs usually wait until late in the game to behave strangely, and let
you waste an inordinate amount of time before you finally delete your
corrupted copy and check out again. I can only presume that, hell, I don't
know, a checksum would be "too hard"...

To Apple's credit, project merges work enormously better in Xcode 2.1 and above. Whereas bogus merges were commonplace with Xcode 2.0, once we switched to 2.1 I have never had a bad merge or even a conflict. YMMV.


With regard to nibs, you should not be doing merges on the objects.nib file -- it's binary, and will not respond well. The other two files (classes.nib and info.nib) appear to be fairly mergable, although some caution may be in order.

Your other complaints are certainly valid -- I would recommend filing bugs, then gently harassing the list until they get fixed. Apple has been gradually working through my more pressing bugs, and I've been pleased with the recent improvements, despite the occasional frustrations.
