Not sure if this email went through previously but thank you for your feedback, I've incorporated your suggestions by scanning the logs produced from pg_rewind when asserting that certain WAL segment files were skipped from being copied over to the target server.
I've also updated the pg_rewind patch file to target the Postgres master branch (version 16 to be). Please see attached.
Thanks,
Justin

Hi Tom,
Thank you for taking a look at this and that sounds good. I will send over a patch compatible with Postgres v16.

It's very unlikely that we would consider committing such changes into released branches. In fact, it's too late even for v15. You should be submitting non-bug-fix patches against master (v16-to-be).
