RepositoryPropertySource Line 101: systemConfig = SystemReader.getInstance().openSystemConfig(null, FS.DETECTED); returns a Config object with file==null, if no system config exists. Is this really intended?
Could not reproduce the problem.

Select a repository in the repositories view, choose <Context Menu>->Show In->Properties. Then choose the system config. Several problems here: 1. If the system config does not exist, we get this NPE for exactly the reason Jens identified 5 years ago. Note that on some Macs with Apple git, there is no system config (compare bug 482076), and judging from the AERI reports, there are also Windows configurations where this can occur. 2. If the system config does exist, only the keys are shown, but not the values. 3. If the system config exists but is read-only, the edit button is enabled all the same but bring up a property page dialog in which one cannot edit.
(In reply to Thomas Wolf from comment #4) > 1. If the system config does not exist Minor correction: if the directory where the system config is supposed to be does not exist, we get this NPE. If the directory exists but not the file, it's fine. Unfortunately, there are indeed configurations where that directory is not present.
Once the NPE has occurred, the Properties View becomes dysfunctional and must be closed. Re-opening a new Properties View then works again, until one chooses the system config again.
