Is it possible to diff/compare two .xcdatamodel files? I thought not,

My end goal is to compare my local .xcdatamodel with what's in my svn
repo before checking it in.
There is no general-purpose comparison view for Core Data model files
in Xcode 3.0, sorry.
There are two special-purpose comparison views:
(1) As you saw, there is a Core Data model comparison view for use
with mapping models. If you look at the "breadcrumbs" for that
document, you'll see it's in a section called "Mapping Models for Core
Data".
(2) There is a Core Data model comparison view for refactoring.
Refactoring at this time can only rename the backing class names for
entities, so that's the only thing that comparison view was
implemented to show.
Xcode 3.0 did lay the ground work for doing more in this area in the
future. If you have specific requests, please file enhancement request
bugs.
