import failure: "git diff header lacks filename information when removing 1 leading pathname component"

I’m trying to init a new lerna instance, and import some (very large) old repo’s. And I am running into this error.

lerna import ../<some-large-repo>/
Lerna v2.0.0-beta.30
About to import 1947 commits into from ../<some-large-repo>/ into packages/<some-large-repo>
? Are you sure you want to import these commits onto the current branch? Yes
Errored while running ImportCommand.execute
Failed to apply commit a76cb3c23.
Error: Command failed: git am -3
error: git diff header lacks filename information when removing 1 leading pathname component (line 15046)
error: could not build fake ancestor

Rolling back to previous HEAD (commit 3ff03a0).

I updated the PR to use a better show file command, that allowed me to get through a couple hundred more commits but ran into a new one. But I think this issue will be closed by https://github.com/lerna/lerna/pull/434.

I’ll see if I can figure out what is wrong with the next commits.

Patch parsing is aggravating.

I am trying to reproduce on something I can open source.
