java.lang.NullPointerException: repository cannot be null

When the search-indexer is working incremental using "vcs" as strategy (and "svn" as type) I get this exception:

An unexpected error has occurred:

This issue has not been commented or reworked for a lot more than a year.
It seems that maven-scm is a totally dead project.
