reroot should warn if taxonomic rooting is not unique #23

matsen commented 13 years ago

It's clear that the set of taxonomic roots forms a connected set. We should find the size of this set and warn if it is greater than one.

This will require a little bit more work, in particular totaling over recursion in the subtrees. It's still linear though.

This should be moved to pplacer issues, if we're still going to tackle this.

Yes. If not convex at the highest multiply occupied level, warn and then convexify.
