Also, Xcode SCM is a little confusing to set up, because you
typically need to set up your project files (xcodeproj, source,
etc) "locally", then import that into your repository, then discard
the original files and check out all the project files from the
repository. If you omitted that last step, then the SCM part won't
work.
This is true of any files you wish to put into an SCM system, at
least systems like CVS and Subversion. You create the files locally,
import them, then check them out. That is not an Xcode-specific
workflow.
I'm not saying it's illogical, just a little confusing, because the
documentation doesn't explain this, and because, although Xcode is
generally fairly clever about SCM, the initial check-out is a piece of
grunt-work it just sort of leaves to the SCM newbie to figure out.
To put it another way, for the straightforward task of putting an
existing project under SCM, it would be more useful for the function
"Import" to create the repository directory structure, then "Add" the
existing files instead of truly importing them, and then commit the
changes. That way, the local copies would immediately become the
checked-out copies, instead of having to be thrown away and checked
out again.
