Not sure. We can figure this out by traversing up the softlinks for
directories. But for files there is no way to find the parent at the moment.
This email from Dan Mons puts some perspective on what actually people
expect - https://www.mail-archive.com/gluster-devel@gluster.org/msg00392.html

Wait, directories *are* supposed to automatically heal from split-brain?
Guess I need to file a bug report. That doesn't happen. All the metadata and
gfid can be the same, but since the trusted.afr are both dirty, it'll stay
split-brain forever.
Conservative merge happens, but 'directories'
