Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of null

[TriMoon]

I am opening a fresh issue of #49, to attract attention to it.
Because #49 has been closed since it started and has had many other reports since then but the issue stayed closed without a fix.
That said;

BUG REPORT

[Enter steps to reproduce:]

1. Go in a directory that has no git tracking yet
2. Enter at console: git init --separate-git-dir=/gitrepos/xxxx --shared=group
   Take note that /gitrepos/xxxx is any existing directory you want the git administrative files to be kept in...
3. Press CTRL+F5 to reload the atom window in case you executed the above step inside a terminal emulator inside the Atom Window like i use.
   Otherwise start your Atom Editor with the directory you just initialized git in.
4. Press CTRL+SHIFT+P to bring up the command menu.
5. Select "Git Log Show"
