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.
Then why are there thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands of .m, .h,
.etc. files in /.DocumentRevisions-V100 after only a few weeks of using
Xcode 4.x under Lion?
We're both right, in a way. I carefully qualified my comment with "in Xcode" because I based what I said by what I saw in Xcode itself.
So you're right, I didn't notice that Xcode is maintaining versions of the source code, even if I can't find a way of browsing them *starting from Xcode". Actually, that's kind of nice, apart from the "unnecessary" disk space it chews up. I wonder if Gavin looked in the version history for his lost code. It would have been kind of cool if it had actually been recorded there.
However, this doesn't justify Gavin's relatively wild claims in this thread. It's certainly possible there's a bug in the versioning framework, as well as being possible there's a bug in Xcode (!), but a reading of the information *presented in this thread* justifies none of the claims about the cause of the bug.
