[cmake-developers] [PATCH 0/9] Xcode: Generate stable project files

[Gregor Jasny]

Hello,

this patch series aims to minimize deltas between the CMake Xcode
generator and Xcode itself. It was started by the observation that
if one makes any change to the project within Xcode (e.g. to see
how a variable is called internally) the user cannot diff the CMake
project and the one stored by Xcode afterwards.

The major difference now is that Xcode objects are sorted before
project generation so that they appear sorted within the individual
sections.

Indention is done by using tabs instead of seven spaces.

I tested this series with Xcode 6.3 and Xcode 3.2. Both show a
reduced diff after this series was applied.

I have more unfinished patches which further reduce the delta.

Thanks,
Gregor
