bk import -tpatch

I've tried twice to import the latest mm patch
on top of the 2.6.12-rc2 linux kernel tree,
but it fails.

$ bk import -tpatch wip.patch .

<prints out a bunch of file names and appears to exit>

[lenb@oak 26-latest-ref]$ bk sfiles -lg |wc
   1624    1624   40346

lenb@oak 26-latest-ref]$ diffstat wip.patch |tail

So it looks like it processed about 1600 of the 2000 files and then
exited.

clues?

thanks,
