[1] Actually, not entirely sure what "crashed with no backups" means.
But if I've saved a file and Xcode has subsequently crashed (don't
recall the last time that's happened, but I'm sure it has), the file
still contained the changes I had last saved.
Crashed with no backups means just what it says. If I'm using emacs
and that happens to crash, which is like a once every two years kind of
thing, there are backup files with my edits in them because if you run
past a certain number of keystrokes emacs backs stuff up.
Xcode when you edit a file, it keeps the changes only in memory. So if
Xcode wipes out, you lose all your changes. Xcode usually tries to catch
its various internal screwups but sometimes it doesn't. So you end up
having to adopt a Windows 3.11 protocol with Xcode.
Save early, save often, save constantly. Restart early, restart often,
restart constantly.
As long as you do that you will improve the stability of Xcode in use
and you won't be subject to as much damage. But, forget while you're
in the middle of some complex edits...
In terms of SVN, it removed a file and somehow was able to keep it locally
for about six days, through commits. I was compiling and committing
the project until one glorious historic crash that lost changes to many
files. After restarting one of the files was missing. Completely gone from
disk and the curious part was that I had not edited it for a couple of days.
Looking back through the logs, it had been deleted from SVN six days
prior by Xcode, and I had been compiling and using my project over those
six days.
I swear this app is haunted. I used Project Builder back as far as 1989
and I am recent with Xcode, and my experience with PB was not remotely
close to Xcode.
