cvs plugin broken - not possible to add new projects

The plugin crashes when trying to save a new project or edit an existing one (with a configured CVS repository).

The problem seems to be the Exclude Regions setting, which does not show an input field and hence is null in the constructor. I will attach a screenshot of the settings dialog. The stack trace is this:
