Is this bug-fix going to be in the 3.5.3 beta release?

This is a known issue with glusterfs-3.5.2. The problem is xsync can
not handle deletes and renames. So when you restart the geo-rep, the
change detection mechanism falls back to xsync even though the
Changelog was ON, the whole time. So deletes and renames won't be
propagated to slave in 3.5.2
The patch to fix this issue is already submitted and is present in
glusterfs master branch. The fix should be available in
glusterfs-3.6 soon.
Can you point me to the bug/patch, or clone the bug for 3.5 and provide
a backport?
Thanks,
Niels
