It'd be nice to have a more coherent theory about what needs to be copied

This is not the first time, nor the second time this issue has arisen. I
would think we would know that a coherent theory or at least
semi-coherent theory would be pretty easy to resolve. Granted, we can't
reasonably know what is going on under base but under the / of PGDATA,
we know *exactly* what files should and should not be in there.
