Unable to start Gitblit 0.8.1 due NullPointerException

[gitblit]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 41

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I had running 0.7.0 and wanted to update to 0.8.1
2. Deleted old verion, merged my settings to web.xml
3. Start tomcat and access webapp in Firefox 9.x

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Gitblit webapp running; app not started

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.8.1; Apache Tomcat/6.0.32


Please provide any additional information below.
After looking at sourcecode there is wrong variable used in 
src/com/gitblit/GitblitUserService.java in line 98:
there is:
for (String username : serviceImpl.getAllUsernames()) {
should be:
for (String username : service.getAllUsernames()) {

additional stacktrace:

Oy.  This has been a rough release.  Fixed and deployed in v0.8.2.
