Often this is one or two levels above the directory containing the Mac source. It sounds like the project root concept is being overloaded to mean two incompatible things.
[1] A project root (of which a project can have many starting with Xcode 3.2) provides a mapping between a folder on disk, and a SCM repository configuration. [2] SCM configurations doesn't have to reference the root directory of the repository. Project roots are used by two things in Xcode: The SCM support, and Snapshots. Not sure what's overloaded or incompatible here?

It does copy everything from your project roots, not just the files referenced from the project. I think that this makes sense as a default out-of-the-box behavior, but I can see that the ability to specify a list of things to ignore might come in handy - Sounds like good material for a feature request.
