Yep.  The next version will replace that paragraph with the following:

"The decision to relog an intent item is made based on two factors: (a)
whether the intent was logged in a previous checkpoint, and (b) if the
log has hit the 75% full threshold.  There's no point in relogging an
intent into the same checkpoint, and there's no need to relog if there's
plenty of free space in the log."

Yes.  Change that to:

/* Possibly relog intent items to keep the log tail moving. */

Thanks for the review!
