While looking at the code of WAL archiving and recovery, I found
another small issue. The standby always creates .ready file for
the timeline history file even when WAL archiving is not enabled.
Since WAL archiving is off, that .ready file will remain infinitely.
Probably this is almost harmless but confusing, so I'd like to fix that.
Patch attached. Thought?
