I was looking at this CF entry, and what you are doing in 0004 to move
the tweaks from pg_upgrade's test.sh to a separate SQL script that
uses psql's meta-commands like \if to check which version we are on is
really interesting. The patch does not apply anymore, so this needs a
rebase. The entry has been switched as waiting on author by Tom, but
you did not update it after sending the new versions in [1]. I am
wondering if we could have something cleaner than just a set booleans
as you do here for each check, as that does not help with the
readability of the tests.
