help here?
Unfortunately no, it doesn't work because the sync type is git, not
rsync or webrsync.
If that does not work I would hard reset the branch to HEAD~n commits
(until branches converge) and sync again.
It's a shallow clone, and git log shows only one commit (from today) so
I'm not sure, but I've now got "git status" showing no problems, but
another sync gives the same error again. For now, I'll wait until I'm
sure there are new commits to the tree and try again then (or tomorrow.)
