+ * When processing the new references for an inode we may orphanize an existing
+ * directory inode because its old name conflicts with one of the new references
+ * of the current inode. Later, when processing another new reference of our
+ * inode, we might need to orphanize another inode, but the path we have in the
+ * reference reflects the pre-orphanization name of the directory we previously
+ * orphanized. For example:
+ *
+ * parent snapshot looks like:
+ *
+ * .                                     (ino 256)
+ * |----- f1                             (ino 257)
+ * |----- f2                             (ino 258)
+ * |----- d1/                            (ino 259)
+ *        |----- d2/                     (ino 260)
+ *
+ * send snapshot looks like:
+ *
+ * .                                     (ino 256)
+ * |----- d1                             (ino 258)
+ * |----- f2/                            (ino 259)
+ *        |----- f2_link/                (ino 260)
+ *        |       |----- f1              (ino 257)
+ *        |
+ *        |----- d2                      (ino 258)
+ *
+ * When processing inode 257 we compute the name for inode 259 as "d1", and we
+ * cache it in the name cache. Later when we start processing inode 258, when
+ * collecting all its new references we set a full path of "d1/d2" for its new
+ * reference with name "d2". When we start processing the new references we
+ * start by processing the new reference with name "d1", and this results in
+ * orphanizing inode 259, since its old reference causes a conflict. Then we
+ * move on the next new reference, with name "d2", and we find out we must
+ * orphanize inode 260, as its old reference conflicts with ours - but for the
+ * orphanization we use a source path corresponding to the path we stored in the
+ * new reference, which is "d1/d2" and not "o259-6-0/d2" - this makes the
+ * receiver fail since the path component "d1/" no longer exists, it was renamed
+ * to "o259-6-0/" when processing the previous new reference. So in this case we
+ * must recompute the path in the new reference and use it for the new
+ * orphanization operation.
