Urgent: XCode git remove files of another project

I dragged a group of files from one XCode project to another. I noticed XCode copied the whole project folder instead of the selected group of files. I immediately selected the copied project folder and deleted it, and selected "Remove References only" as I had a bad experience earlier where I chose to delete the files (in which case the files got deleted from the original project). But now when I commit the changes to git, it shows me list of 1300 files from the original project to commit, even though they are not there in the project. I search the all the project subfolders and those files are no where in the project. What do I do for git to forget those files?
