The code is correct as-is; the proposed change would result in taking
more snapshots than needed. Perhaps the comment needs revision, since
you both misread it. The comment is written in terms of "when can we
skip taking a snapshot", while the test in the code is written for
the inverse condition "when do we need a snapshot".
