I just noticed that a bunch of images in my app's help book now start with ".#_XCSCM_" instead of their normal name. A wild guess says that Xcode changed them as part of SCM. (I don't know how long it's been like this.)

The help book isn't actually checked in, however.

Is this actually something Xcode does? Is it a bug, or some sequence of steps I should avoid?

Efficiency is intelligent laziness.

Since CVS doesn't have a 'revert' command, when you discard changes on a file Xcode will:


- Rename the file to one of a prefix of  .#_XCSCM_
- Update the file to the BASE revision
- If that fails, restore the backup file
- Restore any sticky tags to their previous state
- Delete the backup file

So there shouldn't be any .#_XCSCM_ files left on the disk at the end of the operation. It sounds like you may be running into a situation where Xcode attempted to revert some files that weren't actually under SCM control, and failed to clean up after itself.
