deleting source control history from Xcode project

Question

I am trying to remove all my source control stuff from my project and then setting it up new. Since I have changed the project's name and deleted some files I committed before.

I tried the following:

Just committing my "new" application => results in XCode not being able to find the ViewControllers I wanted to "update".
Creating a new Branch and submitting this => basically the same error.
Disabling Source Control and Reenable it => no difference

Also, when I try to 'checkout' I am getting a Reference 'refs/heads/master' not found (-9) error. Any ideas?

@TimBiegeleisen can you explain what you mean by that? I created a new repo just for this on GitHub, but I figure the problem is my local Git — JVS, Mar 10 '17 at 10:06

thanks, this allowed me to create a new working copy. But I am still getting the Reference error... – JVS Mar 10 '17 at 13:10
