With no better solution in sight, can you go over to a locking
model for version control of your xibs? That won't work with
patches, of course. You'd have to give the relevant people
direct access to your repository, which is probably a very scary
thought.
Alternatively, I guess you might be able to write your own
utility that works out better diffs for these files than, well,
diff does. I think you'll find yourself with a lot of new
friends if you do that. Doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but
maybe that's what it takes.
