Description alied 2014-09-09 21:41:24 UTC 
Build: NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706)
VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, 24.65-b04, Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, 1.7.0_67-b01
OS: Linux

User Comments:
GUEST: This happens every time I turn on netbeans.  When I launch the program I typically have one local project that is version controlled by git, and multiple remote projects that are also git controlled, but Netbeans does not seem to recognize git when opening/creating a fully remote project.

GUEST: Installed some plugins, including the "show git branch in statusbar"

alied: last git-related thing I did was a push.
In case it matters, a gradle multi project was still loading .

GUEST: while scanning a remote project

Comment 2 Ondrej Vrabec 2014-09-10 06:45:46 UTC 
Benno, you likely call GitRepository.getInstance with null as an argument.
Comment 3 markiewb 2014-09-10 18:22:01 UTC 
Fixed. https://github.com/markiewb/nb-git-branch-in-statusbar/issues/4

I could not reproduce the issue, but I added some null checks, which should solve the issue.

Please wait for the verification of the plugin version 1.0.2 at the plugin center.
