I've just started integrating CVS with my use of Project Builder, and although it's nice to have the integration, I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't go further. Here's hoping for improvements in future versions.

I've just received an update to the French localisation of a .nib file, and it doesn't appear to work with CVS in Project Builder at all. I read the documentation that explains how to use cvswrappers to bundle .nib packages into a real single file (.tar file) automatically with CVS, but does that make it work with Project Builder (I'm guessing not)?

Basically, Project Builder is not showing an "M" for modified next to the .nib file, even after chooseing CVS -> Refresh Status with that file selected. And that means that I cannot check in changes to CVS using Project Builder.

If I have to use one procedure (in Project Builder) to access CVS for some files and a different procedure (on the command line) for other files in the SAME PROJECT, then that is just not good enough. There's no way I can keep track of changes that way. The whole point of CVS is that it is supposed to simplify the process of change control. This just makes it more complex.

Unless someone can tell me how to use Project Builder better (here's hoping), I guess I'll just have to remove CVS integration, and do all the CVS stuff on the command line.

hmmm... on second thoughts, it could be because when I received the "French.lproj" directory, with its localised files, I used it to replace the old version of that directory, effectively deleting the CVS subdirectory and any related CVS information for that directory.

I'll have to try it by copying the files only, and not the directory next time.

However, I guess that won't work either, because the "files" are really bundles, and probably contain CVS stuff too.

Looks like I might have to use the CVS wrappers for these after all.
