In the majority of cases this is results in no issues. If Xcode is started from a Terminal session via open Git.xcodeproj or similar then Xcode will inherit the PATH of the Terminal session. The source of this issue stems from how Xcode is started. Some issues have been reported when building the framework in Xcode and the ist Version script failing to find git. You might want to rename the Copy Files build phase to Copy Frameworks Building in Xcode and ist Versioning Drag Git.framework from Linked Frameworks to your new Copy Files build phase.
The first step to this is compiling a Release build of Git.framework, this can either be done in Xcode or via rake on the command line as
