OpenGrok历史缓存零Ptr异常

Question

当索引时，它尝试为perforce创建历史缓存，如果出现以下空ptr异常，则会失败：

我已经检查了用户对$OPENGROK_INSTANCE_BASE/data的写权限。对还有什么需要检查或可能发生了什么有什么想法吗？

OpenGrok版本: 0.12.1.1索引cmd：

OPENGROK_TAG=1 OPENGROK_VERBOSE=1 OPENGROK_REMOTE_REPOS_OFF=0 OPENGROK_TOMCAT_CASE=/usr/share/tomcat7 OPENGROK_INSTANCE_BASE=/local2/mnt/workspace/opengrok ./OpenGrok index /local2/mnt/workspace/opengrok/src/

结果发现这是OpenGrok中的一个bug。见线程：https://github.com/OpenGrok/OpenGrok/issues/878

简而言之，src/org/opensolaris/opengrok/history/FileHistoryCache.java需要一个空ptr检查。

为什么文件作者一开始是空的是另一个问题..。
