The commit message for 878bd9accb55 doesn't mention that. He didn't add a mailing list reference, but this is easy to find at https://postgr.es/m/20160720180706.gf24...@momjian.us I lean towards the view that he was using the literal program name as a verb, rather than trying to decline a verb normally. Note that the word "rewound" did not appear in that SGML source when he committed that; that was only introduced in bfc80683ce51 three years later. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
