After thinking for awhile, I'm going to fold all of these into one
release-note entry:

     <para>
      Fix misbehavior with junction points on Windows, particularly
      in <application>pg_rewind</application> (Alexandra Wang)
     </para>

     <para>
      This entailed back-patching previous fixes by Thomas Munro, Peter
      Eisentraut, Alexander Lakhin, and Juan José Santamaría Flecha.
      Those changes were originally not back-patched out of caution, but
      they have been in use in later branches for long enough to deem
      them safe.
     </para>

If anyone's really unhappy with that plan, let me know.



WFM, Thanks.

cheers
