Fix sending of inline comments on commit message for initial change

Email notifications didn't include inline comments on the commit
message for the initial change. For the initial change PatchListLoader
creates an empty tree object for the a side, but PatchFile always
tried to parse the a side as commit. If it's not a commit PatchFile
can assume that this is the initial change and hence using an empty
text for the a side is correct in this case.

This error could be observed by running the LuceneQueryChangesTest in
Eclipse, the console showed a lot of stack traces caused by
IncorrectObjectTypeException in the CommentSender class.

  com.google.gerrit.server.mail.CommentSender :
  Cannot load /COMMIT_MSG from 318f37f6faeeebe601d9a91a7c98d08a6d3f6c3e in repo
  org.eclipse.jgit.errors.IncorrectObjectTypeException:
  Object 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 is not a commit.

Gerrit Code Review

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.

Objective

Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.

Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.

Documentation

For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.

Source

Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.

Reporting bugs

Please report bugs on the issue tracker.

Contribute

Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Please read the contribution guidelines.

Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.

Getting in contact

The IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.

The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

    git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here

On Debian/Ubuntu run:

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.

On CentOS/RedHat run:

    yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]

NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
