Ok.. I guess what sounded funny to me is the suggestion that "we can't"
leave a dirty log and suggest repair to the user. xfs_repair can clearly
handle a dirty log, so it suggested to me that perhaps there was some
other critical side effect I wasn't thinking of that we wanted to avoid
as a result of needing to zap the log.

To be clear, I don't feel strongly about it and still think the change
is reasonable enough (it only matters when something else is broken in
the fs after all). I just wanted to clarify the above, call out the
potential tradeoff in the event that others might have further thoughts
on it, and suggest the full reasoning eventually make it into the commit
log for future reference.

Or work around the whole "trigger summary recalc via log recovery"
thing, but I guess that might not be trivial either..

That's what I would expect, but I haven't tested it. :)
