Summary:
XCode 5.0 saves (possibly accidental) edits to a file even if it read-only, resetting the file protection without permission and with no indication it has done so.

Steps to Reproduce:
Open read-only file.  Type into read-only file.

Expected Results:
Respect file protection.  Either prevent edits or present warning message.  Silent corruption should be a configurable opt-IN alternative, not even opt-out.

Actual Results:
Changes are saved to read-only file and permissions are silently changed.  There is no indication available in XCode that the file has been changed.

Version:
XCode Version 5.0 (5A1413)
OSX 10.8.5
