NPE with maven-changelog-plugin and git

[Imran M Yousuf-2]

Hi,

I am getting NPE when I issue  the following  configuration and
command 'mvn changelog:changelog' in scm version 1.1. When I use scm
verison 1.2 I get No Such Method Error. I am pretty sure I am doing
something wrong but I am unable to determine it. Please help! I have
attached the relevant outputs as attachment -
git-log.out - Output of the git log command issued to build the log
maven-changelog-npe.out - Output including debug info for the NPE
maven-scm-error-1.2.out - No such method error with 1.2.

I am compressing them to reduce the size of the attachment. I would be
deeply grateful if you would be kind enough to point me in right
direction.
