In heal info output, it is usually the nodes that were up that display 
the list of files that need heal. So the way to interpret it is while 
repo2 was down, repo0 and repo1 witnessed some modification to the files 
and therefore capture them as needing heal, whose list is what the CLI 
displays

I think for some reason setting of AFR xattrs on the parent dir did not 
happen, which is why the files are stuck in split-brain (instead of 
getting recreated on repo2 using the files from repo0 or 1). You can 
resolve it using the split-brain CLI, eg: `gluster volume heal $volname 
split-brain  source-brick repo0:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine 
/372501f5-062c-4790-afdb-dd7e761828ac/images/968daf61-6858-454a-9ed4-3d3db2ae1805/4317dd0d-fd35-4176-9353-7ff69e3a8dc3.meta`
