Oh, and I'm one who definitely doesn't attempt to use Xcode (or any IDE) to do version control, even for the subset of projects for which I need to use Git[2]. Actually, I'm fairly fanatical about keeping my repositories clean, so I tend to be hyper-vigilant about what gets added in the first place.
