When programming an iOS application, there are many files Xcode deals with. I've noticed when I'm programming, the .xcodeproj file is always being modified. What I'm wondering is whether or not the .xcodeproj file should be ignored by Mercurial or not. Also, are there any other files that should be ignored by Mercurial?

I usually ignore these files:
.DS_Store
*.swp
*~.nib
build/
*.pbxuser
*.perspective
*.perspectivev3
*.project.xcworkspace
*.xcuserdata
*.mode1v3
*.mode2v3

I have found that the .xcodeproj changes too much to warrant version control. Instead, I check in a compressed .xcodeproj and ignore *.xcodeproj. The compressed file I commit along with a README to explain that you need to extract that file to get the latest project settings. – slifty Jul 08 '11 at 18:23
