Undefined index: places in versioncontrol_handler_field_item_revision_visual_diffstat->render()

I am using versioncontrol (along with the included commitlog module) with versioncontrol_git. The diffstat blocks are displaying the following notice:

Notice: Undefined index: places in versioncontrol_handler_field_item_revision_visual_diffstat->render() (line 30 of versioncontrol/includes/views/handlers/versioncontrol_handler_field_item_revision_visual_diffstat.inc).

The attached patch overrides the default option_definitions and actually adds the places key in the options object. This will remove the notices and allow the diffstat blocks to function correctly.
