So maybe pg_upgrade uses hard-links (i.e. to files), and only the documentation is wrong by calling them junctions (i.e. soft links to files) ?

Looks that way. In file.c in ~/src/bin/pg_upgrade I see:

#ifdef WIN32
   300 /* implementation of pg_link_file() on Windows */
   301 static int
   302 win32_pghardlink(const char *src, const char *dst)
   303 {
   304     /*
   305      * CreateHardLinkA returns zero for failure
   306      * http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa363860(VS.85).aspx
   307      */
   308     if (CreateHardLinkA(dst, src, NULL) == 0)
   309     {
   310         _dosmaperr(GetLastError());
   311         return -1;
   312     }
   313     else
   314         return 0;
   315 }
   316 #endif

Great !
So I did a full upgrade for nothing (just for safety), but that's good
to know for next time !
Should this be submitted to postgresql-bugs, or is there something more
specific to the documentation ?

I just found the pgsql-d...@postgresql.org list, for for the spam.
