Thanks, Joar. I did file a bug report today, but I filed it against the OS. It's #11014508. Do you want me to file another against Xcode? There's nothing more in the report than what I've said in my post, but it will give us a way to exchange info I suppose.
Beyond that, let me suggest that Xcode should not be participating in this file-versioning scheme, for at least these reasons:
1. Developers already use version-control systems. These should not be trying to coexist. Just typing this out I realized that this Lion file-versioning may explain infuriating out-of-sync problems and merge conflicts I've encountered with my local Git repositories. No wonder: Lion is modifying files without users' knowledge or permission.
Now I'm playing back in my mind the hours I spent last week trying to figure out how inexplicable and huge merge conflicts and gaps in my code arose, and wondering how much work I lost on other occasions.
2. Developers are not an appropriate audience for this nannying that Apple is forcing down users' throats.
The Xcode team needs to represent developers' interests if Apple management wants to force compliance with this ill-conceived file-meddling. Third-party developers represent a huge part of Apple's business today, and that's only going to grow. Xcode is how we must work. Continued disregard for our work is beyond unacceptable: It's offensive. I've spent two years so far building our application, and NOTHING should touch my work except me or processes I expressly control. It must stop.
Thanks,
Gavin
