OK, I'll try again tomorrow.
This does prompt a couple questions:
1. How does one know when not to do a sync/update so that one
can avoid these problems? Is there a database broken
ornot-broken status?
2. Is there no way to "commit" a set of database changes so
that the database doesn't have to be left in a broken state
during moves? (Maybe I'm just spoiled using Subversion...)
