Cypress crashes: TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of null

See original GitHub issue

bug

version

Cypress 1.0.1 on Linux

Opening Cypress...
TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of null
    at Function.module.exports.Commit.actor (/root/cypress-dashboard/node_modules/cypress/dist/Cypress/resources/app/packages/server/node_modules/gift/lib/commit.js:176:56)

    at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:209:7)

The crash happens inside gift package at line that tries to parse author line

ref1 = this.actor(author_line), author = ref1[0], authored_date = ref1[1];

We need to handle the crash.
