As people are mentioning, this is "by design", this is the way Xcode's interface works. However, Steve's problem of not being able to revert just the project file, not the entire project including all source is a real issue. The Xcode interface in general is all about projects not source files.

The reason I'm chiming in with my 2c is that I don't like the way source files are intimately connected with a particular project;
- editor windows (possibly containing shared, multi-project headers) close when the project is closed;
- there is no recent editor file history for the application - recent files are projects only.
I realise there is a recentlist/history for _each_editor_window_ but this doesn't make much sense to me, especially when all these recent items are lost when a parent project is closed.


So this email is a general whine; but it's also valid user feedback about the Xcode user interface. These kinds of things aren't serious enough to be submitted as bugs but a big noise should be made about them on email lists.

Of course there's always the possibility that once I get completely to grips with the Xcode interface I'll love it, and this is the other reason I post this (someone might respond with a hot tip/explanation to make my gripe irrelevant); but there are a lot of users out there transitioning from other IDEs and I think the Xcode interface (even with the introductory docs) could be easier to adopt and use correctly...

One of the files it reverted was my todo list, which I've probably had checked out for a couple months, so who knows what changes I'd made to it since then, and what bugs won't get looked at because they're no longer on my todo list.

If you are still holding that baseball bat, then stop reading now and come back later to read this message.

Still here?
Then note that version control systems do not negate the need for regular backups.
That is especially true if you don't check in your changes to CVS on a regular basis.
