Hi there,

Could you provide an example testcase ? I can see that the author of a log
message might be null which could cause the error. 
The question is whether this is allowed or not and I personally have the feeling
that it's not allowed so the issue would be the client itself.
In order to clarify this I need a testcase.

Best regards

It is valid for the author and message to be null.  This will happen if path-based authorization rules are in 
use and you are authorized to see only some of the paths in a given revision.
