In CheckVersion.init (sickbeard/versionChecker.py, line 41), the install_type attribute is only assigned if sickbeard.gh has been set, and it won't be if SR couldn't connect to Github. The restart code (SickBeard.py, line 482) tries to access install_type to determine which update command to run, which raises an AttributeError and prevents SR from restarting.

The "x" option ignores the .gitignore
-x
Don’t use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore (per directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use the ignore rules given with -e options. This allows removing all untracked files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in conjunction with git reset) to create a pristine working directory to test a clean build.
