Hello
Updated patch attached. (also I merged into one file)
> + <para>

Changed.

Changed to "Process any requests or signals received recently." like in other places, e.g. syslogger
> pendingRestartSource's name does not represent what it does, as it is
> only associated with the restart of a WAL receiver when in streaming

I renamed to pendingWalRcvRestart and replaced switch with simple condition.

As I answered earlier, here is no switch to archive or wal_retrieve_retry_interval waiting in my patch. I recheck on
currentrevision too:
