    Improve various aspects of pg_rewind documentation · 78bad97f
    Michael Paquier authored
    The pg_rewind docs currently assert that the state of the target's
    data directory after rewind is equivalent to the source's data
    directory.  This clarifies the documentation to describe that the base
    state is further back in time and that the target's data directory will
    include the current state from the source of any copied blocks since the
    point of divergence.
    
    This commit also improves the section "How It Works":
    - Describe the update of the pg_control file.
    - Reorganize the list of files and directories ignored during the
    rewind.
