If git status shows:

$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#   deleted:    FooBar.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

Isn’t git checkout supposed to bring it back?

$ git checkout FooBar.xcodeproj
error: pathspec 'FooBar.xcodeproj' did not match any file(s) known to git.

How can git correctly restore this folder?

    FooBar.xcodeproj is obviously a directory and not directly under version control. What you might try doing is forcing it to checkout the file again:

    git checkout --  FooBar.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
