Ok. Try the following:

1) make sure caching is disabled in /etc/cgitrc (nocache=1)
2) find the repo.url setting for the troublesome repo in /etc/cgitrc
3) run `PATH_INFO=$BAD_REPO_URL /path/to/cgit.cgi 1>cgit.html 2>cgit.log`
4) check if cgit.html is ok - if so, your problem is probably due to
stale cache entries which could be caused by permission problems or
stale *.lock files in /var/cache/cgit
5) check cgit.log for any errormessage - if there's errors but they
don't make any sense to you, try repeating step 3 but run cgit under
either strace or gdb.
6) please report the results of this experiment ;)
