Description Stefan Lay

Only for some ccommits I get the following NullPointer when double clicking on a change set member:

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.eclipse.jgit.util.RawParseUtils.author(RawParseUtils.java:549)
	at org.eclipse.jgit.revwalk.RevCommit.getAuthorIdent(RevCommit.java:303)
	at org.eclipse.egit.core.internal.storage.CommitFileRevision.<init>(CommitFileRevision.java:59)
	at org.eclipse.egit.core.internal.storage.GitFileRevision.inCommit(GitFileRevision.java:50)
	at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.CompareUtils.getFileRevision(CompareUtils.java:110)
	at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.CompareUtils.getFileRevisionTypedElement(CompareUtils.java:73)
	at org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.synchronize.model.GitModelBlob.getRight(GitModelBlob.java:114)

The reason is that the buffer field of the RevCommit is null.
