That's what I'd like to do with git as well, but Xcode is more proactive as regards git (perhaps because "add" means something very different in git than it does in SVN) so I must struggle against it. It's not fatal, but it is inconvenient, since, as Stefan said, I do end up quitting Xcode often to do a little git management. So, to sum up, I don't have in mind any One True Model. I would just like an option for no model at all. An *option*, mind you. I'm not saying what Xcode is doing is bad, I just think it would be even *better* if there were an *option* to turn it off. That seems a harmless and positive suggestion, and easily implemented - hardly a fit object of vitriol. m.
In what cases have you found it necessary to quit Xcode to run git from the command line? I've found it very tolerant of me making wholesale changes, including backing up to a previous revision with radically different files, on the command line and having Xcode just pick up and continue from where I end up. The only operation I've found flaky is merging back a branch which often results in all my targets being destroyed. I saw a comment about that on the developer forums too, so it's not just me.
Just interested in what situations Xcode falls over when git is messed about with behind the scenes, I've not found one.
