The same argument applies to the currently-committed code.  The
goal is to not change a matview between zero-length and non-zero
length once the heap exists; but to only have this state change
when REFRESH replaces the heap in the style of CLUSTER, TRUNCATE,
ALTER TABLE with heap rewrite, or the new VACUUM FULL.
