Fails to update if commit is null #35

Description

@jbaker-nca

The /jobs API can return null for a commit if that branch has been removed from the source control. This is not a usual situation, but has happened to us where a backup went awry.

However, if the commit object is null, then the Gitlab Dashboard fails to parse and stops updating any projects after the project with the null commit. The error message in the console is:

Polling failed with error: Failed to parse jobs: (NonEmptyList (NonEmpty (ErrorAtProperty "commit" (ErrorAtProperty "short_id" (TypeMismatch "object" "object"))) Nil))

And a sample response from the /jobs API with this problem is:
