mercurial and Xcode on Mac OS X

Hi list,

anybody out there who uses hg on a Mac?

I am actually quite happy with Murky as the GUI, but have a problem with Apple's Xcode IDE. (Not complaining about missing support for hg in the IDE, since I am even satisfied with only the console...)

All works in principle fine, but keeping Xcode's project directory versioned is a pain! Every time I ONLY OPEN the project the config files change dramatically:

---
markos-imac:banklist marko$ hg st -ma
  start Xcode
markos-imac:banklist marko$ hg st -ma
M banklist/banklist.xcodeproj/marko.mode1v3
M banklist/banklist.xcodeproj/marko.pbxuser
---

I deliberately omit the diff for these two files, but they contain here 38 manipulated lines which contain some weird hash values.
Something like this I never even saw for Microsoft's Visual C++ project files... :)

Any idea how to handle such a case? (I would have to undo all changes to these files in the future - in case I didn't change the configurations for compiler and linker - every single time I simply open the project, not to talk about compiling, debugging, etc. --->>> quite a pain!)

Any feedback welcome.

Greets,
Marko
