That's the file of the temporary table, so there is no need to copy it
from the source server. pg_rewind can safely skip such file, I think.
But even if we make pg_rewind skip such file, we would still get the
similar problem. You can see the problem that I reported in other thread.
In order to address this type of problem completely, we would need
to apply the fix that is been discussed in that thread.

BTW, even pg_basebackup doesn't skip the file of temporary table.
But maybe we should change this, too.
Also pg_rewind doesn't skip the files that pg_basebackup does. ISTM
that basically pg_rewind can safely skip any files that pg_basebackup does.
So probably we need to reconsider which file to make pg_rewind skip.
