Description:

Hi,

According to this page (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/storage-file-layout.html ), a new
directory is created when the commit_ts module is enabled by the
configuration parameter track_commit_timestamp (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/runtime-config-replication.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-REPLICATION-SENDER
). But, in this page (
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/app-pgresetxlog.html ) it's the
directory pg_committs which is mentioned.

Yeah, pg_resetxlog docs were wrong.  Fixed.  Thanks for the report.
