(Note that this is about calculating the wrong size, whereas my bug is
about the file being too large to be written to a tar archive.)

Oh, sorry, I somehow did miss that thread entirely. Thanks for the
pointer. (I've added Vaishnavi to the Cc: list here.)

I'm not convinced that we need a mechanism to let people exclude the
torrent files they've stored in their data directory, but if we have to
do it, the idea of having a GUC setting rather than specifying excludes
on the basebackup command line each time does have a certain appeal.

Anyone else interested in doing it that way?
