We are using http://CVSdude.com for subversion hosting. The advantage is that it has Trac support as well, which makes distributed development easier.

You can use Eclipse + Subclipse plugin to do the subversion working copy setup then follow the XCode steps above. That way you can use Eclipse as another SVN GUI. The Subclipse plugin is very good and is a lot like the Tortoise SVN client on windows. Then you can use the eclipse project to look up file history/compare/show anotation/merge/branch (Eclipse’s show annotation is very useful).

How would I change the path to the svn executable? Xcode is using an old version that is incompatible with my repository.

How do you deal with xcode project files. If two people make changes to the project at all, the project file will change. Then there is no nice way to merge the files right?

This is blocking us from using svn on xcode projects and its a major pain.

If you are using local svn repository for your personal use following repository configuration might help while adding it to xcode.

Name:
URL: file:///Path/To/Local/Repository
Scheme: file
Host: [leave blank]
Path: /Path/To/Local/Repository
Port: [leave blank]
User: [leave blank]
Password: [leave blank]

Btw, xcode 3.0 did allow me to import my initial code into my local repository.

A note for users of non-English environments: Xcode 2.5, and probably later versions too, parses the text output from Subversion and expects data in English. To work around this, create a shell script, e.g. xcode-svn.sh, with the following code:

#!/bin/sh
export LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=$LANG
/sw/bin/svn “$@”
exit $?

It is possible to tell Xcode which binary to use for svn, have a look around in the dialogs in the version you uses and point Xcode to your shell script.
