I recall there was code not expecting to get nulls and it did not seem
like showing null to a user was any value so we figured we'd just
provide a value right within the adapter.

We just randomly picked "No change" as the string we used. Basically,
suppose you ask to blame revisions 3800-3955. Any lines that were not
changed in that range are what come back with the null values. So we
used the text "No Change" here in place of null.
