As far as I can tell, xccheckout is entirely redundant/useless in a project that uses Git submodules. I think it was just designed to provide comparable functionality when using Subversion. I really wish I could just tell Xcode to stop using an xccheckout file.

In my repo we originally didn’t have the file checked in at all (it was excluded by the .gitignore file) but eventually we had to add it because the continuous-integration ‘bots’ that run in Xcode Server refuse to work without one. So now Xcode keeps touching that file and then I can’t figure out whether I should check in the pointless(?) changes or just revert it again. It’s annoying.
