GitLab

I get the following error when GitLabHQ tries to parse a commit message without an email.

ActionView::Template::Error (Sorry, we can't guess the encoding on a nil object):
    1: %a.project-update{:href => dashboard_feed_path(project, update)}
    2:   = image_tag gravatar_icon(update.author_email), :class => "left", :width => 40
    3:   %span.update-title
    4:     = dashboard_feed_title(update)
    5:   %span.update-author
  lib/utils.rb:21:in `encode'
  app/models/commit.rb:33:in `author_email'
  app/views/projects/_feed.html.haml:2:in `_app_views_projects__feed_html_haml___4602359052882356175_49395020'
  app/views/projects/show.html.haml:9:in `block in _app_views_projects_show_html_haml__37675904477004384_47715740'
  app/views/projects/show.html.haml:8:in `each'
  app/views/projects/show.html.haml:8:in `_app_views_projects_show_html_haml__37675904477004384_47715740'

The culprit is app/models/commit.rb:33

Here's the fix I used for this problem

  def author_email
    if author.email
      encode(author.email)
    else
      ''
    end
  end
