Last night we hit a rare case of failed convergence.
f was out of sync with the rest of the world.
f: upi=[b,g,f] repairing=[a,c]
The "rest of the world" used a larger chain at:
*: upi=[c,b,g,a], repairing=[f]
And f refused to join the larger chain because of the way that
IsRelevantToMe_p was being calculated before this commit.
Hrrrm, though, I'm not convinced that this particular problem
is fixed 100% by this patch. What if the chain lengths were
the same but also UPI incompatible? e.g. if I remove 'a' from
the "real world (in the partition simulator)" example above:
f: upi=[b,g,f] repairing=[c]
*: upi=[c,b,g], repairing=[f]
Hrmmmmm, I may need to reintroduce the my-recent-adopted-projection-
flapping-like-counter thingie to try to break this kind of
incompatible deadlock.
