there are several corner cases that are not handled by replica well.
for instance, if i replace a file with a directory, replica won't do things
in the necessary order.  there are several other corner cases that don't
seem to work well.  i also tend to have trouble with replica hanging.

the cphist program i wrote to copy history for my fileserver migration
along with some modifications to make updatedb try a little harder
are on sources in /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/src/replica.

they're not perfect, but i could live with their faults.
