I’m somewhat surprised that Xcode offers a merge into option. The git command
git merge foo
will merge the foo branch into the HEAD (your current) branch. You have to check out the destination branch first to make it HEAD. This is also the case in the non-Xcode GUI tools I know.
Perhaps the answer to the “why this matters” is that Xcode is attempting at doing something un-git like and getting it wrong.
