Part of its job is to take a block whose allocation set has changed and update its place in the allocation list accordingly.  The old code has somewhat confusing logic and does unnecessary work in some cases.  The new code is clearer and avoids that excess work.  (I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote the old code.)
