Eric,

to build Shotwell from git master you'll first need to build and install 
gexiv2 (http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/gexiv2/wiki) from git master.  
This is due to recent changes we made for Vala 0.15.1.

Sorry you ran into this unexpectedly.  We should update the Shotwell 
build instructions to mention this soon.
