[JENKINS-46405] SVN Checkout NullPointerException - Failed to parse changelog

I am seeing a similar issue  - JENKINS-33433">JENKINS-33433-- raised for git plugin 

We are facing this issue with Subversion plugin

We have upgraded the plugins to latest versions but we are still seeing this issue. 

Though the job is configured for poll requests, triggering jobs from Jenkins also leads to this error,

Job is set for - "Always checkout a fresh copy"

Here's the trace log,
