Description
Epoch changes that do not modify the shard's membership should be permitted to proceed unimpeded. We can achieve this by special-casing epoch-only timestamp clashes by only forcing an epoch bump if the membership of the shard has changed. If it hasn't, we vote for the proposed timestamp unmodified.
