I will try to answer the question, I'm not an expert in geo-replication,
So I could be wrong here. I think GlusterFS won't delete the changelogs
automatically, reason being geo-replication is not the author of
changelogs, it is just a consumer any other application could use
changelogs.

You can safely delete**all processed** changelogs from actual changelogs
directory and geo-replication directory. You can look into the stime set
as the extended attribute on the root to see the time which
geo-replication last synced.

Adding Kotresh, and Aravinda .
