I was just trying to set Gurjeet's expectations appropriately while taking
the suggestion seriously anyway. This is one of those cases where you
could argue that since there is no good way to find out what to do here,
it's an operational bug serious enough to patch.

Unfortunately it was mixed in with the archive_mode GUC and
log_startpoints changes so the diff is more complicated than just that:

A quick glance suggests this part might only be 14 lines added to xlog.c
though (the 11 lines starting with "case 'r'" and the 3 new variable
definitions just above it that uses).
