One question: how are you setting the SCM dialog's parameters in
Xcode?
Which version of Xcode are you using? Both 2.4 and 3.0 have some
difficulties surrounding project creation. If someone else can make
this clearer, I know I for one would be grateful, but so far as I can
tell, both versions essentially require you to do something like this:
1. create the project (using Xcode, of course) in plain file space,
not the SVN-managed area, and not your usual place for Xcode projects
2. import those files into your repository using some other SVN tool
3. At this point, the procedure splits, depending on Xcode version:
3.1. With Xcode 2.4, you need to hand check out the project somewhere
(use some SVN client other than Xcode), then open the *.xcodeproj in
Xcode. After that, it handles version control operations well.
3.2. With Xcode 3.0, you can do that, or you can use the Xcode
"Repositories" window to do this check out. After that, it handles
version control ops well ... even better than 2.4.
When Subversion 1.5 comes out, Subversion will allow a "checkout --
force" command. This has several potential uses (including fixing
versioned packages), but in our context, it can be used to turn your
non-versioned, Xcode-created project tree into a versioned one. I
don't know if/when Xcode will be trained to use "--force", but when
it does, the procedure could be simplified to:
1. Use Xcode to create the project in the normal place you expect it
to be
2. Use some other tool to import it into the repository
3. Use "checkout --force" (in or out of Xcode) to morph your original
project into a SVN-managed tree
4. Now Xcode handles the rest well
