Chances are that the changes you're trying to commit are ill-formed. 
Use an editor that highlights brackets such as Emacs to find out where
you are missing one.  If it's in the middle of the file, marking the
whole file and pressing TAB once should make the fault visible – if
it's towards the end, enter closing parentheses until they are no
longer matched up with anything prior.
