Does it work if you open GitX from the Finder? How about if you start GitX from the finder first, and then use the cli tool?

It works if I start GitX from Finder and then browse to the repo. It also works if GitX.app is already running and I use gitx -c from the shell.

gitx starts the GUI ok as long as it's starting in log view instead of commit view. If the GUI is started from the cli, the commit view doesn't work at all; for example, clicking the commit view button in the toolbar results in a blank view.

Is the 'gitx' cli opening the same .app as you do manually? Sounds like something is corrupted or something.

You're right.
gitx opens GitX.app 0.6.2
But running GitX.app gets 0.6.2 (0.6.2.7)
How could this have happened? I deleted the old GitX.app.
The gitx cli is just a symlink:
$ ls -l
which gitxlrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 46B Apr 1 09:29 /usr/local/bin/gitx@ -> /Applications/GitX.app/Contents/Resources/gitxI've already done
rm -rf /Applications/GitX.app rm -rf build rake install
Are there other steps I can take to try to get back to a consistent state?

the cli just asks OS X to open the program with the 'nl.frim.gitx' identifier. I'm not sure how Cocoa finds that app, but my guess would be that it first looks in /Applications and ~/Applications for the GitX.app, and then uses the most recent one if it can't find any there.
The gitx cli is a symlink, so if it doesn't work anymore you can probably reinstall it from with GitX. The location the symlink links to does not influence the version of GitX.app that is opened.

Yeah, hmm, 'open -b nl.from.gitx' is still opening the old version, even though 'open /Applications/GitX.app' is opening the new version.
ps saves the day, look where it found it:
/var/folders/Q1/Q1s1yfTmEbCXv8a6DkxwCU+++TI/-Tmp-/GitX 0.6.1 Update/GitX.app/Contents/MacOS/GitX -psn_0_5330197
That is about the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

BTW, future readers, fixed it simply with
rm -rf '/var/folders/Q1/Q1s1yfTmEbCXv8a6DkxwCU+++TI/-Tmp-/GitX 0.6.1 Update'

- State changed from “new” to “resolved”
I'd guess the Sparkle update made a booboo :)
