parentAvoid sending massive replication updates when purging a room. (#16510) (diff)
downloadsynapse-e9069c9f919685606506f04527332e83fbfa44d9.tar.xz
Mark sync as limited if there is a gap in the timeline (#16485)
This splits thinsg into two queries, but most of the time we won't have
new event backwards extremities so this shouldn't actually add an extra
RTT for the majority of cases.

Note this removes the check for events with no prev events, but that was
part of MSC2716 work that has since been removed.
