People have been complaining (not without reason) that without any documentation they can hardly test the new PITR code. I have hacked up and committed some rough docs that should be enough for testing. They're on-line now at http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/pgsql/sgml/backup-online.html and should within a few hours be visible at http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/backup-online.html (but right now the latter page contains only an introductory blurb).
I love this:
"The ability to restore the database to a previous point in time creates some complexities that are akin to science-fiction stories about time travel and parallel universes."
Awesome :)
