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