The pg_basebackup documentation says that only regular files and directories are "allowed" in the data directory. But it is more correct that any other files are skipped. Attached is a patch to correct that. I also added a link to the protocol documentation and added more details there, also about pg_replslot handling. Not sure exactly how much detail we want to document, but it seems reasonable to make it complete if we provide a list at all.
