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.
Where on earth does this come from? I just re-read this thread, and you seem to have invented the claims that Xcode is using the 10.7 versioning mechanism, as Pages does, and/or that "Lion is modifying files" at its own whim.
There's no evidence in Xcode's UI or behavior that suggests it has anything to do with versioning. There's no evidence of anything but a bug in Xcode that caused its cached copy of a source file to be older than the last saved state of the file. AFAICT, that's the symptom that Joar acknowledges seeing before, not the rest of your rant.
The thrust of your comments is that this behavior is too incredible to be true. You forgot to consider the possibility that it's incredible because it's untrue. :)
