Anyway, why would you get these warnings in the first place? Are
any files in your .xcodeproj folder write protected, and if so
why? Is it done by your SCM software?
Like I said, only the .pbxproj is NOT checked out, so it does not
have write permission. Yes, that's done by Perforce.
The next time this happens (and it will the next time I work) I'm
going to go ahead and check out the project, let Xcode save
whatever it thinks it needs to save, then compare all the files in
the .xcodeproject with their previous revisions. At least that way
I'll be able to see what Xcode is trying to change. If it's only
user space settings, that's a bug and I'll write it up.
I too am a Perforce user and this annoys the hell out of me. Though
it isn't quite so annoying as changing a lot of settings in the
project, then closing it without any warnings only to find that that
the project file was write-protected and all of my changes were
lost. This happened with beta builds of Xcode 2.2 and caused me a
lot of lost time.
I did file a bug on the original beta 2.2 behavior and I'm glad that
we at least have warnings now, but I am annoyed when it warns me even
though I haven't made any changes. I even checked (like you said
you'll do next time) to see if it was making any changes to the
project file and it wasn't.
So a better solution would be for Xcode to see if it really is going
to change the project file and then only post a warning when there
are changes that might be lost.
