OK, attached pg_upgrade patch applied, with this list of improvements in
logging:
add ability to control permissions of created files
have psql echo its queries for easier debugging
output four separate log files, and delete them on success
add -r/--retain option to keep log files after success
make log files append-only
remove -g/-G/-l logging options
sugggest tailing appropriate log file on failure
enhance -v/--verbose behavior
Thanks for all the feedback.
