True. Though, for the typical case the file won't have changed in any 
way Subversion will care about. There are certainly cases that can 
muck that up, for instance opening a project file with compatible but 
different revs of Xcode, but for most folks it will just work. If it 
isn't working, then there may well be something you can do to fix it. 
For the typical user, just checking in the .pbxproj file is fine.

And I see from another comment on this thread that we are on the wrong 
list, so I will shut up now. For some reason I thought we were on the 
Xcode list - there's just too many of the these darn lists!
