Xcode duplicates my repository and renames its loc

Question

I have a Git repository where my project is linked to. It is located somewhere like /Users/a/Documents/Xcode Projects/MyProject. I use Xcode's UI to commit changes and it worked perfectly for a couple of times. But now, out of a sudden, I get this error when trying to commit new changes:

The working copy myproject could not be reached. Please verify that the working copy is reachable and try again.

As you can see, the message shows my project's name in lowercase and when I check the Repositories in XCode (File - Source Control - Repositories...). I see there are two, apparently identical, repositories (they both link to the same Origin), but one with the name all in lowercase.

The correct one location is /Users/a/Documents/Xcode Projects/MyProject as I told you. But the duplicated one is supposed to be located in /Users/a/Documents/xcode projects/myproject which, of course, does not exist.

Does anybody know why is this happening? Can anybody help me to delete this duplicated repository and make my project link the correct one? So I can keep using the XCode's UI to commit changes in my code.

Answer 1

I found that Xcode 4.2 can behave in two different ways depending on what exactly you select in the File->Open dialog, when opening the project from within Xcode:

1. The .xcodeproj file
2. The project folder (containing the .xcodeproj file)

Selecting 1 or 2 and pressing enter wil give me two different repositories with different paths in Xcode's Repositories, so sometimes it helps to close the project, delete both repositories and then open the project in "the right way", say 1 or 2.

Answer 2

I had the same problem. You probably clicked the recent opened project offered at the beginning of Xcode screen. I chose to open the project/workspace from manual selection in the file system and it solved this duplicated working copy issue. Hope it could be a help.
