Apparently, git tracks your user specific settings, which is not desired. You should fix your .gitignore file (which is located beneath .git folder):


# OS X folder attributes
.DS_Store

# Xcode's folder for intermediate data:
Build
DerivedData

# temp nibs and swap files
*~.nib
*.swp

# Xcode's user settings
*.mode1v3
*.mode2v3
*.pbxuser
*.perspectivev3
xcuserdata



The *last* line here tells git to ignore your user specific settings in Xcode. You may want to search for more *ignorable* files, by just googling "gitignore Xcode"

Whether Xcode should provide and check for a reasonable default for gitignore or not is debatable.

Andreas
