Summary:
Xcode 5.1 auto-edits tool versions of NIB files when viewed but not otherwise edited.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Xcode project with a NIB file in Xcode 5.0.3 or earlier
2. Place the project under version control and commit all files
3. Open the Nib file in Xcode 5.1 that was created in Xcode 5.0.3
4. Look at the version control, the NIB file will be changed only in tool versions

Expected Results:
Xcode won't edit a NIB file, including tool versions, unless the file is edited. Viewing a file should not change it.

Actual Results:
Tool version values in the NIB file are changed for a file that is not otherwise edited.

Regression:
The previous version of Xcode, 5.0.3, did not edit NIB files on viewing.
