Thank you for the bug report. That particular error indicates the problem was
with the GitHub importer. I'll forward on your project's information. I'll
update this bug as soon as the issue gets resolved.
If you are a hurry to migrate your project, you can manually export your
project using our guide here:

I'm seeing that as well: https://import.github.com/spookypeanut/t7gre/import.
I'm guessing there will be more: could you put contact details for who to send
the info to in here for anyone else that sees this please?

I'm still working on updating our documentation and error messages here, but it
appears that one of the most common sources of this error is that GitHub has a
100MB restriction on the size of individual files. So it is possible to have a
Google Code repo containing files larger than 100MB, but those will fail to
import into GitHub.
You can push your repository to GitHub if you *obliterate* any offending files
from your repo. (But a simple `git rm` will not work.)
IF you delete the file in a single commit, the large file is still in your
repository's history. And therefore will still fail when importing a prior
commit. For git-based projects you can use the steps outlined in GitHub's
[https://help.github.com/articles/remove-sensitive-data/ removing sensitive
data] article, which will walk you though how to remove a file from a repos
history entirely.
As for hg and svn-based projects, I still need to track down how you can remove
any offending files before the GitHub import.

In the case of https://code.google.com/p/ftpii/ there has never been a 100MB
file in the SVN repository. The repository size has never exceeded 10MB.
I've attached a script that others may find useful to check for this - note
that it looks at the size of the repo, not individual files.

I have an SVN repo that I do have a file larger than 100 MB in, that is causing
this error. Please update this ticket if you find a way to remove this from the
history so I can finish my migration.

Getting it for https://code.google.com/p/dwscript/ there are no 100 MB files in
the repository.
Would it be possible to at least see the actual error(s)?
This is a developer tool, no need for simplified error messages ala Internet
Explorer :)

I'm getting the "There was an error importing commits" error as well, with no
file > 100mb in SVN.
* How do I directly report the bug against GitHubImporter?
* How do I view the logs to see a meaningful error message so I can perhaps
actually fix the problem?

FWIW manually importing to github worked (clone with git svn, then push to
github), but during the process, the Google Code SVN server encountered issues:
it would become unresponsive for several seconds. The git svn cloning had to be
restarted manually half a dozen times before all commits could be cloned.

The issue with ftpii specifically, whatever it was, now appears to have been
resolved.

I too am having an issue where I can't migrate from google code to github
because of a large file in an old commit (even though the current head version
does not have the file anymore).
