I've seen many a CL containing changes to nib/xib files, and given that
those files are machine-generated XML, it's not immediately obvious what the
changes are. That's problematic for several reasons, two of which
immediately come to mind:

1. You can't adequately review the CL if you don't know what was done.
Inspection works for simple changes, but not for large ones.
2. Nib/xib file patches bitrot extremely quickly and hand-merging is
near-impossible. If a merge needs to happen (either someone else needs to
land the code, or perhaps you do), sometimes the easiest way to merge is to
just re-create the changes on the new ToT file, which is not possible if you
don't know what was done.

Thus my request. In any CL that changes a nib/xib file, can you please
provide a (brief) description of the change?
