Seems you have set up the Settings Repository plugin to use the same URL as your project git repository (check the URL in File | Settings Repository). The plugin automatically synchronizes the local IDE settings on exiting WebStorm/closing the project, making the xml files appear in your Git repository
Do you mean <WebStorm_config_dir>/options/phonegap.xml? Are you using Settings repository plugin to synchronize your settings?
No, the files I am referring to (like phonegap.xml and ide.general.xml) are in the root directory.
And no we are not using the Settings repository plugin.
