Cannot update path to git

[meaghanlewis]

Description

I updated the Path to Git with a version of Git that I didn't want to use. Now I'm unable to change the git path back to what it was previously.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to Settings tab
2. Update Path to Git. Save
3. Update Path to Git again. Save

Expected behavior: [What you expect to happen]
I can update my git path successfully

Actual behavior: [What actually happens]
Cannot update the git path and the Settings tab becomes unusable after saving with a new path because all the fields are disabled. Switching away from the tab changes the git path value to what it was previously set to.

Don't see anything helpful in the logs, just this 171114-07:16:07 TRACE [ 1] <GitPathView> Validating Git Path:/usr/local/bin/git but the new git version never appears to finish validating or updating

Note: a workaround to switch the git version on mac is going to ~/.config/GitHubUnity/settings.json and updating the git install path.

I have a mac and would like to try looking into this issue - do you have any recommendations on where to start looking within the source code? I have already been able to build/reproduce the issue

Hey @parkgs thanks for wanting to pitch in.

I'm on my way to fixing this, you can see my progress here #659. I've almost got it figured out.

My teammate and I were looking into this and another bug that seemed to happen together.
We actually forgot this issue existed and we created another one #656

Closing this out as it was a dupe of #656 and fixed in #659
