interesting. there was one change i overlooked. in the case where the applylog on sources sees that a file has been "recreated", it doesn't delete it. i would imagine that this is intended to stop this case. but since the log is wrong, we're still hosed. i had to remove this case so that a file could get deleted and recreated as a directory. unfortunately, this happens. my copy of replica is at /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/src/replica, if anyone is interested. - erik
