README.tuplock says:

But looking at the explanations of the infomask bits further down (as
updated in commit cdbdc4382743fcfabb3437ea7c4d103adaa01324), as well
as the actual code for locking a not-yet-locked tuple in
compute_new_xmax_infomask(), this doesn't seem to be true. Was this an
oversight?
