Non-project files in Xcode git repository

This is an organizational question for iOS and OSX developers.

When you are using the automatically generated git repository for an Xcode project, how do you add/commit your non-project files such as PSDs or other third-party tool files that are the "source" for the image and audio resources? Do you add them using the git command line, or do you prefer to maintain a separate repo for these files?

I used to use the command line, but now use a GUI, to add them where they make sense in git, for example a "Source Images" folder for psd files, but I do not check in any generated files (i.e. PNG files generated from the PSDs.)

My git GUI app du-jour is Source Tree to add the files.

I also add a custom .gitignore to all of my repos and check it in as well, but that is a different discussion.

I feel that having separate repos makes it easier to make mistakes and lose important changes, since you do not need to cd to a different repo and run the git commands there.
