I cannot reproduce this on Darwin 8.0 (Tiger). The files in the  
working copy are not hardlinked.

At least you should remove _darcs from the XCode project. All the  
other files should be handled fine. (Works quite good here with a  
project using an external build system [autotools].) Unfortunately  
there is no released SCM API to XCode I know of, so you need to  
commit from the command line anyway.

Kind regards,
