GI Builder will not load after a SVN update
If you are using SVN in a multi-developer environment and you get a conflict on the project's config.xml file, SVN will put markers in the config.xml file that makes it invalid for loading in GI.
To fix this issue, open the config.xml file in an editor and search for the greater than and less than indicators that SVN places around the conflicted segments. It will also normally duplicate some of the component declarations and they will need to be verified between your version and the version updated from the repository.
