inserted and then updated 15 times, it's the last, most recent committed
update which is relevant. The fact that you replicate that same record more
than once in a replication cycle is also irrelevant. IN this case, you would
replicate the insert once, then replicate the update 15 times with exactly
the same content. All you need to do is manage the inserts first, then the
updates then the deletes. So if your source finally deletes the record
before a repl cycle begins, the record will be inserted, updated 15 times,
then deleted.
