Description of problem: Editors like vi, RENAMES original file to temp name and then create the new file for data modification. Geo-rep fails to sync when temp files RENAME involved. How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a file in master mount 2. Open the file in vi editor, modify and save it. Actual results: Geo-rep fails to sync the change, and file GFID in master will not match with GFID of slave. Expected results: GFID should match in both master and slave, and geo-rep should sync the changes.

COMMIT: http://review.gluster.org/8761 committed in master by Venky Shankar (vshankar) ------ commit 3c29c50cf60135245290133fbfed11aa3cf01e39 Author: Aravinda VK <avishwan> Date: Wed Sep 17 12:59:52 2014 +0530 geo-rep: fix same file different gfid in master and slave While processing RENAME in changelog, if the file is unlinked in master, then geo-rep was sending UNLINK to slave instead of RENAME. If rsync job fails if one of the file failed to sync in the job. This patch adds logic to remove GFID from data list if the same changelog has UNLINK entry for it after the DATA. Or it removes those GFIDs during retry of changelogs processing.
