How to purge dangling parents? about acd_cli HOT 2 OPEN

I did the schema change you mentioned a while back in #374, but the larger issue is that the nodes table is just missing a value. Have you had successful a successful sync before running into this?

from acd_cli.

I think so. It will show Root node not found. Sync may have been incomplete. warning at the first time sync, but succeed at the second run.

I also dumped changes list into a file, and it indicates that it added a node, but its parent does not exists anywhere.

These nodes will break some functions, because when we attempt to do cache.first_path(node_id), it always fail.

If the tables are supposed to reflect what changes list do, we could probably add a function detect orphan nodes, and let users decide how to fix them.
