I'm happy to go change every last bit of it. I was expecting after I committed the initial rename that somebody would provide a follow-on patch to do the rest of it in short order. Instead, months went by and we still don't have a complete patch. But I don't see why that has to take more than a day's work, probably just a few hours. I'd like to do that and move on. > Moreover, I see we still have the pg_clog directory. I thought that was > supposed to be renamed as well, to avoid confusing it with a "log" > directory.

Then we just have two half-done things, IMO. But I'm also not the only one with a commit bit. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
