Yeah, that's easy enough.

As you'll note from my recent commits, the consumer currently doesn't do 
anything special to distinguish between a full refresh and a normal 
refresh. With the delta-syncrepl support I'm testing now, it does do a 
specific full refresh when it is out of date with the log, but for 
regular syncrepl there's still no distinction.
