Cause for this regrind consists of the lack of a proper manifest file as per the official Republican spec, along with the incorrect directory structure, both of which have been addressed in this new genesis vpatch.

So is this basically a drop-in patch/mod onto the WordPress mainline release tree?
What version of WP was it built against?
Well, it's a genesis, implying exactly what you think it does, rather than a drop-in. 2.7. Here's some links to get you started: 1, 2, 3. You've come quite late to the (erstwhile dead) party, but enjoy your trip down the rabbithole nevertheless.
