So XCode has decided that one nib of mine is "missing" (that's the

file and re-add it, I still get the exclamation mark. What to do? I
don't wnat to start over; I just want to add the @#$# nib.
Let me guess, this is an old-style bundle-based .nib, not a .xib? The
problem is that the bundle is treated as a directory by SVN and has an
invisible .svn subdir containing metadata. Replacing the file doesn't
restore the .svn directory, confusing SVN.
--I'm sorry; I'm not feeling charitable towards XC at the moment.
Don't blame Xcode, blame SVN, or possibly IB. More modern version
control systems (git, mercurial, ...) don't splatter invisible
metadata all over your project (they keep it at the root), and the
newer .xib format is a flat XML file that plays much better with
version control.
