So IIUC, this logs shows that
"ControlFile->checkPointCopy.ThisTimeLineID" is 6 but
"ControlFile->checkPoint" record is on TL 5? I think if you had the
old version of the code (before the commit) or below code [1], right
after initializing expectedTLEs then you would have hit the FATAL the
patch had fix.
While debugging did you check what was the "ControlFile->checkPoint"
LSN vs the first LSN of the first segment with TL6?
expectedTLEs = readTimeLineHistory(recoveryTargetTLI);
[1]
if (tliOfPointInHistory(ControlFile->checkPoint, expectedTLEs) !=
ControlFile->checkPointCopy.ThisTimeLineID)
{
report(FATAL..
}
