This was posted on -dev a bit ago. They know about the issue and sounds like it may have been fixed already according to Wabe. They are working on fixing the lacking changelogs that was broken when they switched to git. Since it was posted on -dev, I'm sure a bug has already been filed on this. Depending on how the server is set up that you sync against, I'd give it a hour or so and sync again. Maybe Wabe is right and it will have filtered down to all sync servers. Dale :-) :-)
