Hi David.
I've experienced the same thing. Your nibs were originally created
with Interface Builder 2, right?
There are three different formats: NIB 2.x, NIB 3.x, and XIB 3.x.
Support for NIB 2.x in IB 3.2 is extremely limited at best. IB 3.2 can
open them, but it can't save them, it automatically transforms them
into NIB 3.x, and sometimes messes up the nib a bit in the process.
What you're seeing in svn is the switch from NIB 2.x to NIB 3.x.
I think you're pretty much out of luck. My recommendation is to take
the plunge now and switch all of your nibs to xibs. Ideally, you would
do this in IB 3.1 on Leopard instead of IB 3.2 on Snow Leopard, to
avoid new 3.2 regressions.

It's just a guess really, since we've been using xibs for ages now,
but have the nib files been flattened? They used to be a folder,
but if they've changed to just a single file then you might get
this kind of behaviour from Subversion I think.
I should have included the detail from SVN:
? MainMenu.nib/designable.nib
! MainMenu.nib/info.nib
M MainMenu.nib/keyedobjects.nib
! MainMenu.nib/classes.nib
So it's not flat (that would be a .xib), but it looks like the
format changed entirely, from 3 subfiles to two.
If I absolutely have to, I can fix this manually, but I'm surprised
things are breaking like this, and that there doesn't seem to be the
ability to save in an old format (despite a dialog that lets you
choose version).
