A "refresh from client" sync does not modify data in Evolution. It only updates
the server. I'm afraid you'll have to clean up that data in Evolution manually.

The "refresh from client" works as intended - no local changes are made. As to
why the contacts were messed up in the first: no idea. I suggest that you
change your maxlogdirs property (probably in
~/.config/syncevolution/scheduleworld/config.ini) to 0, thus preserving logs
from all future sessions.

Once it happens again, you'll a) be able to tell whether the server or
Evolution/SyncEvolution messed up the data and b) you have a backup that you
can restore via the syncevolution command line.

I'll keep this issue open for a while. Please let me know when it happens
again, then we can have a look.
