Hmm. I wasn't very convinced by those comments, but Tom's commit
a1ef01fe163b304760088e3e30eb22036910a495 convinces me that it has to
work that way. So I think we are OK on that score.
The patch itself looks just fine on a quick glance, modulo the lack of
documentation, but I think we need to bikeshed the name of the flag.
--reload-through-root is clear as daylight to me, but I'm not sure
users will agree. The lack of the word "partition" is perhaps a
significant flaw, and pg_dump doesn't really reload anything; it just
dumps.
The best thing I can come up with after brief thought is
--partition-data-via-root, but maybe somebody else has a better idea?
