% REPAIR_TREE Rectify tree format to complete BCT conformity.
% (trees package)
%
% tree = repair_tree (intree, options)
% ------------------------------------
%
% repairs a tree. This means removing trifurcations by adding small
% segments, removing 0-length compartments, and sorting the indices to be
% BCT conform and lexicographically Level-Order left. Applying this
% function is crucial for many other functions in this toolbox which assume
% for example BCT-conformity. This function may alter the original
% morphology minimally!
%
% Input
% -----
% - intree::integer:index of tree in trees or structured tree
% - options::string: {DEFAULT: ''}
% '-s' : show
%
% Output
% ------
% if no output is declared the tree is changed in trees
% - tree:: structured output tree
%
% Example
% -------
% repair_tree (sample_tree, '-s')
% % however, no sample tree needs repairing of course...
