Rename "pg_xlog" directory to "pg_wal".
"xlog" is not a particularly clear abbreviation for "write-ahead log",and it sometimes confuses users into believe that the contents of the"pg_xlog" directory are not critical data, leading to unpleasantconsequences. So, rename the directory to "pg_wal".This patch modifies pg_upgrade and pg_basebackup to understand boththe old and new directory layouts; the former is necessary given thepurpose of the tool, while the latter merely avoids an unnecessarybackward-compatibility break.We may wish to consider renaming other programs, switches, andfunctions which still use the old "xlog" naming to also refer to"wal". However, that's still under discussion, so let's do just thismuch for now.Discussion: CAB7nPqTeC-8+zux8_-4ZD46V7YPwooeFxgndfsq5Rg8ibLVm1A@mail.gmail.comMichael Paquier
