Back in February, I reported here that the the directory into which I build my non-Mac-App-Store Release builds was not being backed up by Time Machine, and with the help of Kyle Sluder on this list discovered that this was due to extended attributes (xattrs) on that directory.  We surmised that this was done by Xcode

That sounds desirable to me, because build output is (a) large, (b) rapidly changing, and (c) not worth backing up because it can easily be recreated.

I guess my underlying question is: why do you want your build directories to be backed up? If you want archives of previous releases of an app, you can just copy the app itself (without the squigabytes of intermediate files) to some other archive directory…
