Null Pointer when finishing branch: "branch was merged into null"

[van-adam]

• I'm submitting a ...

  • [x] bug report
  • [ ] feature request
  • [ ] puppy => You're not submitting a puppy. I already have one and he's adorable

• What is the current behavior? I was working on a bugfix branch that was started from develop branch (also happens with feature branches etc.) and then finished the bugfix branch. The plugin shows following notification: "The bugfix branch 'bugfix/branchName' was merged into 'null' ". Unfortunately, I cannot upload a screenshot for some reason.

• Is this a bug? Sorry about that. If so give me explicit details how to reproduce:

1. Open IntelliJ
2. Start Bugfix, Release, or Feature branch
3. Make a commit
4. Finish said branch
5. Read notification

• What is the expected behavior? When finishing a branch, a notification shows "The branchType branch 'branchType/branchName' was merged into 'startBranch'"

• What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? it's a bug

• Please tell me about your environment:

  • Gitflow4idea version: 0.7.7

  • Gitflow version: 1.12.3 (AVH Edition)

  • IntelliJ Help -> about > click copy icon and paste here. Should look like this:
