With a recent svn pull (968) and a fresh install using setup.py, django/contrib/admin/templates/ is not copied over. The result is that the admin interface fails with a traceback:
There's been an error:

This issue is likely not a problem for those merely linking to the checked out django directory, rather than using setup.py.
The workaround is to copy django/contrib/admin/templates/ from the checked out django directory to the corresponding location in the installed directory.
