Yeah, you're right. StartupXLOG() seems to be a better place in that
case. We can set it before calling CreateCheckpoint() and set it back
to "" once checkpoint finishes. Or we can also set it to report the
next action such as "running recovery_end_command", but not sure if
any step beyond CHECKPOINT would really take long enough to be worth
caring for.

Thanks,
