Pranith, I missed your three-day deadline, because I was on 
vacation/holiday.  If not for this time, perhaps for the next iteration.

If at all possible, can we have the gfids in the split-brain output replaced 
by file names?  No matter how you go about fixing a split-brain, not knowing 
the file name when faced with a list of possibilities is an infuriating 
situation.  You can't tell log files from databases, so you can't even do triage.

Thanks for your work,
