Just to recall the history, the first pgfoundry
commit messages for this tool were on February 9th, three months
after
the start of the final CommitFest and feature freeze for 8.4. Since
then, development has proceeded at an amazingly rapid pace, but
there's only so much you can do in four months,
... but the above is a *complete* misrepresentation of the thing's
history (apparently you failed to look in the Attic?). EDB have been
using previous versions of this tool for some years, and the basic
premise is the same as contrib/pg_upgrade that existed as far back as
7.1/7.2 timeframe.
I did know that EDB had been using the tool for a while, but I admit
I'm not familiar with the whole history. I had the impression that
we'd gotten a lot more serious about really making this rock solid
since Bruce took it in February. But maybe that's not the case?
