Is there a way to use a VCS (I'm using git) and have it work with merges to the Xcode files? For example, if my co-worker adds a new Group to the project, when I merge in his changes, I get the Group merged in?

Or if he adds an attr to a Core Data entity, I get that attr in my Core Data model?

+1  A: 

Core Data and nib files don't merge well.

Xcode project (project.pbxproj) files generally do, with one exception: when two team members both add files to the same project group. Then they both tend to collate on the same line in the project file and cause a conflict. In the vast majority of cases, accepting both edits one after the other (order is irrelevant) results in a successfully merged file.

Has anyone ever built a tool to xlate these files to/from some reasonable format for merge?
