gitx cli: args ignored

[treyharris]

The http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/ docs say:

GitX itself is fairly simple. Most of its power is in the gitx binary, which
you should install through the menu. the gitx binary supports most of git rev-list's arguments. For example, you can run gitx --all to display all
branches in the repository, or gitx -- Documentation to only show commits
relating to the 'Documentation' subdirectory. With gitx -Shaha, gitx will
only show commits that contain the word 'haha'. Similarly, with gitx v0.2.1.., you will get a list of all commits since version 0.2.1.

However, using as an example the Homebrew project, when I run
$ gitx

(without arguments) in a repo such as this one, tracking Homebrew, I get this:

bit if I quit GitX and then run:

$ gitx -- share

as suggested by the gitx -- Documentation example above, I get exactly the same window:

If I follow the instructions to use git rev-list-like arguments, the command

$ gitx --all -- share

again gives precisely the same window.

To contrast, in that same working directory:

$ git rev-list --all -- share | wc -l
     151

But, checking that first commit affecting share:

$ git log -n1 --pretty=medium --name-only -- share | cat

    man: add reinstall command.

It isn't on the list displayed in the GitX-Dev screenshots, so the issue here isn't that all the commits touch share--it's that gitx seems to be ignoring the arguments given it.
