xcode git pull/push crash

Question

When using the xCode IDE when selecting file -> Source Control -> Pull or Push xCode crashes. The only workaround so far found for this is to load the organiser and select each repository and click pull then when then repository name displays cancel the dialog. After repeating this for each repository the normal push/pull options work fine until Xcode is restarted and then the process must be repeated.

This happens the same on all machines (4) at our office. The repositories are on github and there are multiple repositories being loaded in for each project.

We having been using the work around for some time but as we get more repositories this becomes more of an annoyance. Any suggestions welcomed.

Answer 1

I had the same issues with Xcode 4.3 so I have been using Xcode 4.4 and 4.5 for development (I'm not close the delivering yet, so it doesn't matter than I cannot submit my App using these versions yet).

An alternative would be to use an external source control tool; I would recommend SourceTree as it's free and works well. Other than that, there is always the command line.
