It's reproduceable for me by amending the commit.

Any suggestions?

strace -o log -f git commit -C HEAD --amend

and post the "log" here (assuming it failed)

It does not fail when -C HEAD is used.

Specifically I did...

  Modify Makefile.in (random file).
  git commit -a --amend
  <:wq when vi opens, i.e. save without making changes>
  <failure>

  Modify Makefile.in
  git commit -a -C HEAD --amend
  <successful completion>

  Modify Makefile.in
  git commit -a --amend
  <:wq save without making change>
  <failure>
