How to ignore Xcode merge backup files?

Question

In Xcode, after git mergetool, there are some backup files like this:

X.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj.BACKUP.36127.pbxproj
X.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj.LOCAL.36127.pbxproj
X.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj.REMOTE.36127.pbxproj

How to ignore these files in git with .gitignore?

Thanks.

@Vladimir yes, I can remove them after merge. Is there any way to ignore these files in .gitignore? — fannheyward, Dec 10 '12 at 10:10

As in this article, you could add in your global ignore file:

*.BACKUP.*.pbxproj
*.BASE.*.pbxproj
*.LOCAL.*.pbxproj

Strangely enough, there isn't yet an XCode file in the "GitHub Ignore" global files project.

*.REMOTE.*.pbxproj
