I have an iMac and a MacBook Air which both have Xcode 7.1 and OS X 10.11. On the iMac, Xcode’s Source Control works great but on the Air I’ve had a lot of trouble the past few months, particularly repositories not showing in the menu, and “Scanning for working copies…” forever.

git is part of Xcode. If you update Xcode, git will be updated.
Make sure you are using the command line tool from the last Xcode release (using xcode-select)
Make sure there is not an old version of git in your path (using "which git" to make sure it points to /usr/bin/git)
