Un-track Xcode files listed in .gitignore
// Master list at: https://github.com/github/gitignore/tree/master/Global
// If you added a .gitignore file after doing your Xcode commit, git will continue tracking files even if they are listed in .gitignore.
// To fix this, move all of the files in the repository somewhere else on the filesystem (except .gitignore and .git), then run:
git add --all
git commit -m "Remove all files"
// Then add your files back in and run the following:
git add --all
git commit -m "Re-add files"
