I’ve got a site running `Discourse 2.2.0.beta4 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 75340424274f4347e5f1f46b39d33468b9bfe5d7` with a remote theme. I don’t see in the UI how to see where the remote theme is coming from. I tried looking in rails and see a whole bunch of remote themes with all of the fields (except timestamps) empty or nil.

When I try to “check for updates” from the UI I get `/var/www/discourse/lib/theme_store/git_importer.rb:74:in `import\_public!': fatal: The empty string is not a valid path`.

I’m upgrading now, but the URL for the theme seems not to be in the database.

I haven’t tried replicating anywhere else.
