I've run a test with JGit 7.1.0 in the Jenkins git client plugin and have found a null pointer exception from Diff changes that arrived in JGit 7.1.0. I'll do more investigation to understand what is different, but wanted to share the stack trace in case others have insights to offer.
The stack trace is using the path through DiffCommand that invokes the old (JGit 7.0.0 and before) DiffFormatter.format(EditList, RawText, RawText) rather than invoking the new (added in JGit 7.1.0) DiffFormatter.format(EditList, RawText, RawText, DiffDriver) method.
Any insights or suggestions are welcomed. Also not a problem if there is no response.
The test failure means that I won't release a git client plugin with JGit 7.1.0 until the issue is understood and resolved. Thanks again for JGit!
The stack trace is:
