XCode 4.2 Unable to Take and Recover Snapshot
===

I am using XCode 4.2 on Snow Leopard with a local repository (that I never use). I used to be able to take and recover snapshots. But now when I try to take or recover a snapshot, I get this error message:  

**Unable to create snapshot**  
The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:  
Users/jeanne/Documents/iOS/createAccount/.DS_Store  
Use -f if you really want to add them.  
fatal: no files added  

I have looked at this SO post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7700110/xcode-4-snapshot-error-gitignore-ignores-ds-store
It told me to delete my .DS_Store. I tried this but it did not work. I can take and recover snapshots with other projects. I am not sure what to do next. Should I copy and paste all of my files into a new project? That feels super sketchy.

Finally, as I am new to SO, I am not sure how I should've presented this post. Should I have just put it as a response in the other SO thread, or is it OK to make this new one?

Thanks!
