I have been waiting to upgrade to Leopard (and Xcode 3.0) for a while.
Now that I finally have, I have to say I'm disappointed in Xcode 3's
SCM support.
I'm not talking about the need to have all your source under the
project now. I can deal with that.
I'm talking specifically about how, when I open up my project, Xcode
will do its thing with hooking up to the repository and it will appear
to be checking the status of files, but it doesn't actually work. Or
rather, it's very intermittent. Maybe internally it's working, but it
doesn't update the status of files which I know (and have confirmed)
DID change. That is, I don't see the little 'M's or 'U's or 'C's next
to the files that changed, except (sometimes) I see it next to the
Project itself, but not always even there. Even when I tell Xcode to
"Refresh Entire Project", it does it's little thing in the activity
window (1 operation pending[1], spinning icon, blahblahblah). Then it
completes and ... and ... no status changes. :-(
It's like back in the days of Xcode 1.1 (maybe? I can't recall
exactly) when I saw pretty much the same behavior.
It's so frustrating to see a feature that was working very well in the
previous version take a giant leap backward like this.
Anyway, I'm going to file a bug, but I was curious if others have
noticed this behavior as well. Or maybe there's some known "gotcha"
in Xcode 3.0 that I'm not aware of.
Fwiw, this was a clean install of Leopard and Xcode. The projects
themselves were upgraded and remain in "2.4 compatible" mode, because
I still have one machine running Tiger with Xcode 2.5.

[1] The "1 operation pending" message is different from previous
Xcode's. I assume that's normal for Xcode 3?
