I had this problem after adding and then deleting sub-projects in a project that was under source control.

I fixed it by using the GitX application, selecting the Commit View, un-staging the now non existent files from the Staged Changes list, and then selecting Discard Changes for the same files in the Unstaged Changes list.

I then had to delete the repository from the Xcode Organiser-Repositories screen and restart Xcode before things were working ok again. Xcode automatically re-adds the repository back in when the project is re-opened.

Perhaps someone with GIT expertise can provide a command line alternative that performs a "Discard all changes that are no longer present on disk" action
