It is a bit sad to say, but this patch aiming at adding a test case
for an uncovered code path of pg_dump has not reached an agreement.
The most simple way to reduce the overhead of this test would be to
include something in the main regression test suite and let pg_dump
call incorporated in pg_upgrade test do the work. This has been
suggested upthread already as one way to do things.
Doing diff comparision of pg_dump/restore on the regression database
data set would have been nice, but the column ordering of inherited
tables when a column is added to a child is a can of worms, so that's
not something this patch should try to address.
So marking it as returned with feedback or moving it to next CF?
