Indeed, but the messages that puzzled was in one log file, just
together, not in some differents versions.
But yes, it should be documented somewhere, actually, I can't find any
good place for that,
While digging, It seems that recovery_target_timeline should be given in
decimal, not in hexadecimal, which seems odd to me ; and pg_controldata
use decimal too, not hexadecimal…
So, if this idea is correct, the given patch is not enough.
Anyway, do you think it is a good idea or not ?
