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. - erik
