I checked the project's General Info and noticed that the SCM Repository option is turned OFF.
Questions:
1) Why ask if the Project's SCM option is OFF?
2) Where does it store Fritz Anderson's meta data?
First things first. before I even look at the other question.
Do not attempt to connect to a Subversion server at manoverboard.org. There isn't even one running at the moment.
Apparently I made a mistake in configuring the projects for publication. I'm not sure why you've been asked to reconfigure for my server; ignore it, and shift SCM references to the file:// repository I recommend you set up for exercises.
I've never heard of this problem before. Has there been a change in recent versions that makes Xcode try to pick repositories up from projects that have been physically ported to other machines?
If you have Preferences -> SCM -> Options -> Configure SCM automatically checked -- which, if you don't, you should go and check right now -- then Xcode 3.1 and later will look at the invisible SCM files in the project directory, and if it doesn't find an already configured SCM repository known to Xcode with that information, it will prompt you to allow it to make such a repository configuration for you, saved in Xcode's preferences, and set your current project to use that repository configuration.
This closes the loop on something that Xcode 3.0's rewritten SCM support didn't have, that Xcode 2.5 and earlier did: automatic configuration from your SCM checkout.
Fritz, did you use a checked-out directory for these files, in which case the invisible SCM files, containing your information, would still be there, or did you export the files?
