I've recently had a possible need for telling pg_basebackup how to handle symlinks in the remote data directory, instead of ignoring them, which is what currently happens. Possible options were recreating the symlink locally (pointing to a file on the local system) or copying the file the symlink points to. This is mainly useful in scenarios where configuration files are symlinked from the data directory. Has anyone else had the need for this? Is it worth pursuing?
